“In this delightful book, David Rhoads brings together the labors of many years. He combines narrative analysis of key Markan passages and themes with social analysis of Mark's narrative world, to demonstrate an inclusive Gospel vision. He then offers examples of the use of social-science analysis. The capstone is his reflection on many years of oral performance and what it has taught him and his students. With these approaches, both Mark and David Rhoads are revealed to be about open hospitality and energy for mission.”
“Reading Mark, Engaging the Gospel would make an excellent textbook for courses intended to supplement and enrich the standard historical and literary approaches to the New Testament.”
“An excellent introduction to major developments in recent New Testament studies.”
“Both in his writings on Mark and performance of that gospel, Rhoads makes people hear Mark again for the first time. This is a book that students, pastors and all lovers of Jesus will treasure.”
