Kata Markon

[Donald Murphy <donmurphy AT btl.net>]

It was only this morning that I was able to subscribe to Kara Markon.  I
was pleased to see the thread concerning suggested readings on the
Gospel of Mark.  Unfortunately I was unable to make contact with the
Archives for Kata Markon (the problem may well be on this end: our
monopolistic server here in Belize is not always totally cooperative).

In any event, I want to mention two books about Mark which I have found
very helpful over the years (quite possibly they were already suggested
before I subscribed):

Kelber, Werner.  The Kingdom in Mark: A New Place and A New Time.
Philadelphia, Fortress, 1973.  (For teaching purposes
  I for years found Kelber's much abbreviated Mark's Story of Jesus,
published by Fortress in 1979, very good.)

Myers, Ched.  Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark's
Story of Jesus. Maryknoll, New York: Orbis Books, 1988.
  (For teaching purposes I am now finding the much abbreviated "Say to
This Mountain": Mark's Story of Discipleship,
   co-authored with Myers by Marie Dennis, Joseph Nangle, Cynthis
Moe-Lobeda, and Stuart Taylor) and published by Orbis
   Books in 1996 an excellent building on and surpassing of Kelber and
others.)

I look forward to following discussion on Kata Markon!

Best wishes,

Don
