Book Synopsis Other Followers of Jesus by : Joel Williams

Download or read book Other Followers of Jesus written by Joel Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1994-06-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of Mark includes a series of similar episodes in which he presents minor characters and their response to Jesus. These individuals are neither disciples nor opponents of Jesus but rather people who are drawn, in a broad sense, from the crowd. Mark presents these characters either as suppliants or as those who exemplify a proper response to Jesus and his way. The purpose of this narrative study is to explore the effect of Mark's presentation of minor characters on the reader. It traces Mark's treatment of these individuals through the narrative and shows how Mark's presentation of minor characters moves the reader toward an acceptance of the demands of following Jesus.
