The old story of Jesus' feckless disciples in the Gospel of Mark makes more sense than ever before after Whitney Shiner shows us a new way to read it. His carefully analyzed examples of the ways other ancient biographers depicted teachers and their followers puts Mark's story into sharp relief. And Shiner explains that story with rare sensitivity to its peculiar rhetoric.
