Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. From Dustjacket - In The Narrative Jesus. A Semiotic Reading of Mark's Gospel, Ole Davidsen undertakes a radical investigation of the narrative's Jesus, who sees himself as identified by a number of thematic and narrative roles: wonder-worker, proclaimer, and savior. The Markan gospel narrative is defined as a two-fold story whose sequences of events interact and form the characteristic gospel genre. The first sequence concerning the relationship between God and Jesus is fundamental, and recounts the constituent events. The connection between baptism/anointing, crucifixion, and resurrection is analyzed as a unifying structure which establishes the gospel narrative's semiotic unity and reveals the overarching salvation and re-creation project served by these events. Turning against exegetic bigotry and philological pedantry, it is emphasized that the gospel narrative proclaims Jesus Christ as savior. As wonder-worker Jesus already has a part in God's creative power, and as proclaimer his commission is to disclose the hidden salvation project. The second sequence concerning the relationship between Jesus and the disciples shows Jesus as the teacher who tries to induct the disciples as potential apostles for the post-paschal proclamation directed towards Christianity's persistence. The gospel narrative itself appears as literary proof of this proclamation project's successful result. In the narration's register it is Mark who narrates, who plays the part of inductor relative to the reader, in that he discloses the double messianic secret; not only that Jesus is Christ, but also what Christ truly signifies. Mark presents his reader with a narrative christology, since Jesus alone sees himself as identified as Christ through the roles assigned to him by the narrative. Mark reveals a secret that cannot be revealed on terms other than those of the narrative. Whether this narrative is true, whether it is fiction disguised as reality or reality disguised as fiction, will as it were be decided only on the Day of Judgment. Nor is this generation to be given an unambiguous sign from Heaven, but all must be content with the ambiguous story of The Narrative Jesus. ; 250 x 180mm; x, 404 pages.
