Identity in Conflict -A Socio-rhetorical Reading of the Markan story of Jesus

This book is a significant contribution to the scientific study of the Gospel of Mark, since it helps to specify better the latent rhetorical intention of the text. A must read for anyone interested in the early Christians and leaders of the church. The new social identity that this book claims to propose is not something just of the past, but also a permanent point of reference to the renewal of the Christian communities.
