Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar: Jesus the Messiah and Roman Imperial Ideology

Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar

Jesus the Messiah and Roman Imperial Ideology

2018 • 204 pages

Did Mark write his Gospel in response to Roman imperial propaganda surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem? Adam Winn helps us rediscover how Mark might have been read by Christians in Rome during the aftermath of this cataclysmic event. He introduces us to the imperial propaganda of the Flavian emperors and excavates the Markan text for themes that address the Roman imperial setting.
