Jesus' mission and theirs : Christology and discipleship in light of Mark's apocalyptic gospel -- The calling of the fishers in Mark 1:16-20 -- The commissioning of the Twelve in Mark 3:13-15 -- Discipleship as presence in Mark 4:1-34 -- Discipleship as practice : Jesus' sending out of the Twelve in Mark 6:7-13 -- Discipleship as (transforming) presence : the wilderness feeding in Mark 6:30-44 -- Discipleship as (foiled) practice : the motif of incomprehension in Mark 6:45-52 -- Further thoughts "on the way".
Exploring the interrelated topics of Christology and discipleship within the apocalyptic context of Mark's Gospel, indicate that the disciples failed to understand not just Jesus' messianic identity per se but the apocalyptic nature of his messiahship, as well as its implications for their own participation in God's coming reign. The implications of this for Mark's gospel as a whole are to situate Mark's Christological claims within the broader context of the apocalyptic 'gospel of God'. This lends coherence to Mark's bifocal interest in miracle and passion. It also illuminates the relationship between Mark's Jesus and his followers as those who carry forward his own mission: to demonstrate the coming kingdom of God, which is fully assured if not yet fully in view. --PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.
