This raises the question: What does 'the gospel' (τὸ εὐαγγέλιον) mean to Mark? Traditionally, an explanation has been found in the so-called 'religious use' of the notion of the 'messenger on the mountain' in Isa 40:9 and 52:7, paving the way for an understanding of Jesus's death as a sin sacrifice connected to Isa 53. Under the influence of recent postcolonial and\/or anti-imperial reading strategies, however, Mark's gospel notion has rather been understood as tailored to counter a Roman dressing of the emperor as 'gospels' to the world. Morten Horning Jensen re-investigates the entire concept of 'gospel' and concludes that Mark uses the concept to communicate the 'epoch-making victory' he finds to be the product of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohr Siebeck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888531128471,"sku":"9783161618581","price":22127.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783161618581.webp?v=1781166546","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-gospel-between-emperor-and-temple-in-the-gospel-of-mark-a-story-of-epoch-making-proximity-to-the-divine-through-victory-and-cult-9783161618581","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
