{"product_id":"the-gospel-to-the-romans-brian-incigneri-9789004131088","title":"The Gospel to the Romans: The Setting and Rhetoric of Mark's Gospel","description":"This book proposes that Mark's Gospel was written in Rome in late 71 after the return of the feared Titus who had recently destroyed the Jerusalem Temple. Recognising that the use of emotional appeals was a prime contemporary rhetorical tool, it shows the Gospel to be an emotionally-charged text aimed at readers traumatised by years of persecution, fear of arrest and intra-community tensions over the forgiveness of those who had failed. It examines the political, social and religious situation and shows that the Gospel contains allusions to many recent events of concern to Christians. Mark stirs their fears and painful memories to move them to a new resolve, providing a model for them -- Jesus, the first martyr for the gospel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Incigneri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004131086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004131088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 6.62w x 1.31d","brand":"Brian Incigneri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47136557629695,"sku":"9789004131088","price":309.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_becf85dd-4edf-48ad-b04d-c15c3bb22487.jpg?v=1755023710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gospel-to-the-romans-brian-incigneri-9789004131088","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
