The volume analyzes theories regarding the concepts of nationality, identity, and exile, and proposes that Mark is an example of exilic literature, which can be understood through the larger umbrella of post-colonial literature. Readers gain a new understanding of the Gospel of Mark and a new way of dissecting it within a theoretical lens of exilic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExile, Identity, and Reconstructing Belonging in the Gospel of Mark\u003c\/i\u003e is of interest to students and scholars of Mark and the Gospels, as well as those working on exilic literature and post-colonial theories in the Bible more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan E.
