Associate Professor Keith Dyer, Whitley College, University of Divinity
“Making a Mark: Biography, Gospel, Apocalypse . . .”
The word becomes flesh on papyrus too, and then is handed over to copying, editing, analysis, classification, translation and interpretation. These are all necessary and worthy pursuits, but when do our genre stereotyping and our standard texts and translations begin to inscribe the word on tablets of stone, rather than on our hearts? This paper explores how we have ossified the Gospel of Mark in various ways and how we might allow the text to challenge us again in new ways.
