Their analysis uncovers how the discourses are constructed; what issues each discourse seeks to treat; how the argumentation, arrangement, and style of each discourse contributes to its overall purpose; and how the discourse fits into the overall narrative context of the Gospel. The authors demonstrate that, contrary to what some historical critics have suggested, first-century audiences of Mark would have found the discourses of Jesus unified, well-integrated, and persuasive. They also show how these speeches of the Markan Jesus contribute to Mark's overall narrative accomplishments.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Fortress Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889944641687,"sku":"9781506433356","price":7555.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781506433356.webp?v=1781178294","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rhetoric-of-jesus-in-the-gospel-of-mark-9781506433356","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
