| Summary: | The question of the First Gospel's theological interpretation of the death of Jesus has remained unresolved for decades, while focussing primarily on the question of Mark's relationship to the Isaianic Servant Songs. Recent postcolonial and/or anti-imperial readings of Mark have bypassed this impasse by offering new interpretations of the notions of 'gospel' and 'cross' that eliminate the need of atonement theology to make sense of Mark's presentation of Jesus' death. By contrast, this study argues that Mark's atonement theology is embedded in his guiding Isaianic trajectory climaxing with the effect of Jesus' death on the temple, producing unrestricted proximity to the Divine. |
