As a result of the discussions among bloggers, I thought it would be interesting to try to blog my way through the Christology of the Gospel of Mark. What do you think \u2013 does that sound like a good idea?<\/p>\n

At any rate, before turning to that, there has been a lot that simply needs to be recapped from the blogosphere since my last round-up.<\/p>\n

Dustin Smith<\/a> and Mike Bird<\/a> have had some interesting interactions \u2013 both with the topic and each other \u2013 on their blogs.<\/p>\n

Daniel McClellan<\/a> blogged about Mark's Christology and the messenger of YHWH.<\/p>\n

Brant Pitre<\/a> looked at how the story of the sea crossing is suggestive of a theophany.<\/p>\n

James Tabor<\/a> shared his perspective on how we get from the Jewish Messiah to the incarnate God in early Christology.<\/p>\n

Phil Long had posts about Jewish Christianity and high Christology<\/a>, and the definition of Jewish Christianity offered by N. T. Wright<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zondervan<\/a> offered arguments in favor of the theological character of Mark's Gospel.<\/p>\n

Matthew Montonini shared a quote from Vincent Taylor<\/a> about the enigmatic Christ and the Messianic secret in Mark.<\/p>\n

Scot McKnight<\/a> blogged about Jesus being interpreted in the process of being remembered.<\/p>\n

There's also a podcast<\/a> of related interest, although not about the Gospel of Mark. In it, Joshua Jipp talks about Christ as king<\/a> in Paul's Christology. And Shaun Rufener<\/a> has been blogging about the book The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus<\/a>\"\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In addition, there are also a number of posts of mine<\/a> from the past which touch on Christology in the Synoptic Gospels<\/a>, and the question of whether Jesus is depicted as pre-existent there<\/a>. It is to be highlighted that one needs to ask not only whether there is anything in Mark, Matthew, or Luke that could just possible<\/em> be read in terms of pre-existence, but also whether one would understand Jesus to be pre-existence if one read these works without such questions in mind.<\/p>\n
