{"product_id":"in-search-of-a-context-thomas-hatina-9780826460677","title":"In Search of a Context","description":"In this book the author explores how contexts determine the meaning of embedded scripture texts in the Gospel of Mark. Many historical critics base their readings on a context that is external to Mark s story world, be it a reconstructed socio-religious setting of the evangelist, a Jewish exegetical tradition or some earlier stage in the development of the gospel. What is common to these readings is the neglect for the context of the story world- the very context in which scripture quotations and allusions are embedded. The author proposes a method of reading these embedded texts that is sensitive to the story world, though not at the expense of the historical setting in which the gospel was written. Jesus' announcement in 1:15 concerning the kingdom of God serves as the point of entrance into Mark's story world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hatina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826460674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826460677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.02w x 1.13d","brand":"Thomas Hatina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48216513446143,"sku":"9780826460677","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8b8bede-757f-410b-b018-91d056523238.jpg?v=1771991501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-search-of-a-context-thomas-hatina-9780826460677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
