Thomas Schmidt has published two articles in New Testament Studies and 
Bible Review on the theory that the crucifixion narrative in Mark is based 
on a triumphal procession in Rome. Does anyone know of any followup on 
these articles or have any comments on them?

The more I study Mark's gospel, the more I am convinced that it was =
written for catechumens.  But this is all from internal indications.  =
Can anyone point me to some resources that might help me confirm or =
"disconfirm" this annoying idea?

Thanks much!
