Zusatztext The author of this work presents a new and very detailed image of God in the Gospel of Mark with the rigorous application of strictly conceived semantic, narrative and rhetorical criteria. This book comes to fill a void in studies about God in Mark’s Gospel in a complete, exhaustive way to students and theologians. Informationen zum Autor Paul Danove is Professor of New Testament Studies at Villanova University, USA. Vorwort A thorough and complete study of God in the gospel of Mark that is suited for biblical scholars, theologians in general and Roman Catholic and systematic theologians in particular. Zusammenfassung Paul L. Danove presents the first full-length study of God and the theology of God in the Gospel of Mark. In dialogue with scholars who assume that texts are designed to guide their own interpretation, Danove develops and applies methods of analysis to describe the actions and attributes of God in the Gospel of Mark. Danove presents his argument in a threefold structure, beginning with outlining a set of complementary semantic, narrative, and rhetorical methods for investigating characterization. He then moves to examine the semantic and narrative content related to the character of God in the Gospel of Mark and then formulates this information under the guidance of the narrative rhetoric into statements of God’s fifty-six repeated and sixty-two non-repeated actions and attributes, arranged according to God’s portrayal as semantic agent, benefactive, content of human experience, experiencer, goal, instrument, patient of predication, source, theme, and topic of faith.
