Reviews

[Susan Saridakis]

This text evaluates this gospel from various standpoints - feminist, post/de colonial, as literature. It helped me a lot to look at it from different viewpoints, and helped me to better understand this text and biblical scholarship.

Good, current information about the Gospel of Mark, our first Gospel. Matthew and Luke are based on the Gospel of Mark
