The Gospel of Mark

This commentary demonstrates that the Gospel of Mark is a result of a strictly sequential, hypertextual reworking of the contents of three Paul’s letters: Gal, 1 Cor and Phlp. The topographic and historical details of the Marcan Gospel were mainly borrowed from the Septuagint and from the writings of Flavius Josephus.

This commentary demonstrates that the Gospel of Mark is a result of a consistent, strictly sequential, hypertextual reworking of the contents of three of Paul’s letters: Galatians, First Corinthians and Philippians. Consequently, it shows that the Marcan Jesus narratively embodies the features of God’s Son who was revealed in the person, teaching, and course of life of Paul the Apostle. The analysis of the topographic and historical details of the Marcan Gospel reveals that they were mainly borrowed from the Septuagint and from the writings of Flavius Josephus. Other literary motifs were taken from various Jewish and Greek writings, including the works of Homer, Herodotus, and Plato. The Gospel of Mark should therefore be regarded as a strictly theological-ethopoeic work, rather than a biographic one.
