Sabin sets the composition of Mark in the context of the religious discourse of first-century Judaism, which took the form of an exchange betwen current events and Scripture. She sees Mark as an original theologian shaping his material out two primary Jewish traditions: the Wisdom traditions, with their emphasis on God's presence in daily life, and Creation theology, which imagined the End Time as a return to the Garden. Juxtaposing her findings to interpretations from the church fathers and from the twentieth century, she offers a new way of understanding Mark's use of Scripture, his eschatology, and his presentation of Jesus. The results are provocative.
