Mark, Manuscripts, and Monotheism: Essays in Honor of Larry W. Hurtado - The Library of New Testament Studies Roth Dieter

Marc Notes: 'Mark, Manuscripts, and Monotheism' is organised into two parts. Part one features chapters that engage with Hurtado's scholarly contributions. Bauckham addresses Hurtado's contributions to Christology while Kraus and Wasserman address his contributions to New Testament textual criticism. Part two features chapters from Hurtado's former students, now important voices within the discipline themselves, and addresses issues such as manuscript traditions and variants, the role of the disciples in Mark and further issues of Christology and martyrdom. Biographical Note: Chris Keith is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity and Director of the Centre for the Social-Scientific Study of the Bible at St. Mary's University College, Twickenham, UK.
