Gain Insights on Mark''s Christology from Today''s Leading Scholars
The Gospel of Mark, widely assumed to be the earliest narrative of Jesus''s life and the least explicit in terms of Christology, has long served as a worktable for the discovery of Christian origins and developing theologies. The past ten years of scholarship have seen an unprecedented shift toward an early, high Christology, the notion that very early in the history of the Jesus movement his followers worshipped him as God. Other studies have challenged this view, arguing that Mark''s story is incomplete, intentionally ambiguous, or presents Jesus in entirely human terms.
Christology in Mark''s Gospel: Four Views brings together key voices in conversation in order to offer a clear entry point into early Christians'' understanding of Jesus''s identity: Sandra Huebenthal (Suspended Christology), Larry W. Hurtado (Mark''s Presentation of Jesus; with rejoinder by Chris Keith), J. R. Daniel Kirk (Narrative Christology of a Suffering King), and Adam Winn (Jesus as the YHWH of Israel in the Gospel of Mark).
Each author offers a robust presentation of their position, followed by lively interaction with the other contributors and one "last-word" rejoinder. The significance of this discussion is contextualized by the general editor Anthony Le Donne''s introduction and summarized in the conclusion.
The CriticalPoints Series offers rigorous and nuanced engagement between today''s best scholars for advancing the scholarship of tomorrow. Like its older sibling, the CounterPoints Series, it provides a forum for comparison and critique of different positions, focusing on critical issues in today''s Christian scholarship: in biblical studies, in theology, and in philosophy.

Paul''s letter to the Roman church is one of the most widely read, rigorously discussed and minutely dissected epistles ever written. What more could there be to say?
Plenty, it turns out.
In this highly engaging, perceptive and accessible commentary, J. R. Daniel Kirk situates Romans firmly in its first-century context, redirecting our attention from a modern-day concern with individual salvation towards the theological questions that consumed the apostle Paul. Questions such as what are the Jews and Gentiles to make of one another? Practically, how are they to live, worship and be community together in the right here and now? And, most importantly for Paul, how can God be faithful if God''s great act of salvation excludes God''s own chosen people: the covenantal community to whom all promises had been made?
By approaching the text from a first-century perspective, Kirk illuminates a letter and its writer deeply concerned with the day-to-day lives of its readers. A letter written not to provide answers and rules, but encouragement and inspiration. A writer concerned less with waiting for the new creation, than living it. And a God intent on inviting outsiders into a worldwide family.
Romans for Normal People is an invitation to lay down everything you think you know about Romans and discover the text as it is. And, in doing so, encounter a letter as relevant today as it was some 2000 years ago.
