Arguing that Mark depicts God as acting in two logically opposite ways, both independently of Jesus (as a distinct character) and through Jesus (possessing him from his baptism), he adds a level of complexity to Mark's portrayal of Jesus and sheds new light on the most enigmatic feature of Mark's narrative: the consistent and troubling misunderstanding of the disciples.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Ira Brent Driggers</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- NT -- Gospels -- Mark</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">I65-D78</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780664230951</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_741849864_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_741849864_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070455.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
