Weaving his way through a mine field of hermeneutical theory and of literary and social-critical readings of the bible, the author produces a commanding and coherent political commentary on the Gospel of Mark. Amazingly lucid in its style and argument. “This is, quite simply, the most important commentary on a book of Scripture since Barth’s Romans.” —Walter Wink, Christian Century
