About

This book brings together four leading scholarly perspectives on how Gospel of Mark presents the identity of Jesus Christ — from views emphasizing his full humanity to views affirming his divine status.

Each chapter is authored by a different scholar: Sandra Huebenthal (Suspended Christology), L. W. Hurtado (Mark’s Presentation of Jesus), J. R. Daniel Kirk (Narrative Christology of a Suffering King), and Adam Winn (Jesus as the YHWH of Israel), with interactive responses and a “last-word” rejoinder — facilitating direct engagement between competing interpretations.

The book examines the longstanding question of how early Christians understood Jesus’ identity by analyzing the portrayal of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. It explores arguments that Mark portrays Jesus either primarily as a human figure, or — in contrast — as divine. Through a four-way scholarly dialogue, the book presents the strengths and weaknesses of each interpretation, offering readers a comprehensive and balanced entry point into modern Christological debate.
