Why Mark : The Politics of Resurrection in the First Gospel

Mark provides a narrative that not only captures the life and message of Jesus, but also sheds light on the theological and political issues of his day. Throughout the pages of Why Mark? The Politics of Resurrection in the First Gospel, Dr. David E. Wiley III takes us on a deep journey that began over 2,000 years ago as he invites any student of the word to ask critical, faith-shaping questions: Why did Mark write this account of Jesus' life? What theological and political issues shaped his narrative? Why did Mark fail to include resurrection appearances after the story of the empty tomb? Dr. Wiley has spent a lifetime examining these questions, arriving at the conclusion that the gospel of Mark is an account from a master storyteller, who believes in the resurrection of Jesus, and who uses his great writing skills to tell the story of Jesus' resurrection in a unique, compelling, and extremely powerful way. Why Mark? can be used by pastors looking to bring depth to their sermons, by small groups desiring intensive study, or for the thoughtful believer who doesn't shy away from difficult questions--
