The Messiah of Peace: A Performance-Criticism Commentary on Mark’s Passion-Resurrection Narrative is available from Wipf & Stock and Amazon.com.
What
One of the first detailed commentaries to use the emerging interpretive paradigm of performance criticism. It is accompanied by video recordings of live tellings in both English and Greek.
How
This website has recordings of Mark’s passion-resurrection narrative in English and in Greek that are correlated with the stories in the commentary. The * symbol after chapter and story headings indicates corresponding recordings on this website.
Why
What emerges from listening to Mark’s story as a performance is very different than what emerges from reading it as a text. This commentary and its accompanying videos will shed light on those differences.
