Short description:
In diesem Buch untersucht Edmund Yiu-ming Leung wie das Markusevangelium eine ausgeprägte Hirtensymbolik (6,34; 14,27) verwendet, um Jesus darzustellen. Er kombiniert narrative Analysen mit Befunden aus dem Alten Testament (Ezechiel 34; Sacharja 13,7-9), um den markinischen Jesus als leidenden davidischen Hirten zu verstehen, der sich der Fürsorge für Gottes Volk widmet. In this book, Edmund Yiu-ming Leung explores how the Gospel of Mark uses shepherd imagery (6:34; 14:27) to portray Jesus. He combines narrative analysis with insights from the Old Testament (Ezekiel 34; Zechariah 13:7-9) to understand Mark's Jesus as a suffering Davidic shepherd, devoted to the care of God's people.

In diesem Buch untersucht Edmund Yiu-ming Leung wie das Markusevangelium eine ausgeprägte Hirtensymbolik (6,34; 14,27) verwendet, um Jesus darzustellen. Er kombiniert narrative Analysen mit Befunden aus dem Alten Testament (Ezechiel 34; Sacharja 13,7-9), um den markinischen Jesus als leidenden davidischen Hirten zu verstehen, der sich der Fürsorge für Gottes Volk widmet. Given the literary qualities of the shepherd images in Mark's Gospel (6:34; 14:27), which are intertextual references to the Hebrew Bible and figures of speech for narrative characterisation, Edmund Yiu-ming Leung adopts a narrative-critical approach using Genette's conception of narrative metalepsis. This innovative methodology addresses the inadequacies found in previous studies and fully acknowledges the dual literary nature of the images. More significantly, it illuminates how the original literary background of the shepherd images (Ezekiel 34; Zech 13:7-9) functions to characterise Jesus and other characters along the plotline. Subsequently, the characterisation of Mark's narrator creates rhetorical impacts on Mark's implied readers and persuades them to respond to the radical shepherding work of Jesus and ultimately to acknowledge the nature of being his disciples with an open ending.
