Women in Mark’s Gospel

Abstract

“"The strengths of Miller's study are numerous. Firstly she focuses on all the female characters in Mark, and not only those who are portrayed positively. Secondly she engages feminist scholars such as Amy-Jill Levine in an informed and independent manner. Thirdly she succeeds in connecting the inclusion of women in the ministry of Jesus, with the apocalyptic message of Mark. I found Susan Miller's study to be a highly original and stimulating anaylsis... it is clear that her study has made a meaningful contribution, not only to feminist studies of Mark, but also to Markan studies in general." Marius Nel, University of Pretoria” -Marius Nel “'Miller's analysis is a valuable contribution to Markan and feminist scholarship... this study offers a rare analysis of Mark's female characters... and it is the only study that analyses the impact of Mark's eschatology on his portrayal of women.... This books offers a fresh perspective on women in Mark that will interest a variety of readers.' Molly House, Themelios, 32/1” -Molly House, Themelios “'this book is a thorough study of all the passages in Mark that feature women characters... There is a stimulating exegesis of the significance of the verb diakoneo... in several contexts.'
