Jesus the Oracle

Reading Mark in Roman Egypt

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Jesus the Oracle, Annelies Gisela Moeser reads Jesus' journey from Capernaum to Jerusalem in Mark's gospel in terms of a processional oracle in 2nd-3rd century Roman Egypt. Jesus is seen as speaking with oracular knowledge, offering non-elite crowds access to the divine, and subverting the Roman world order with his proclamation of G*d's reign.
