Binding the Strong Man - Ched Myers - Gospel of Mark - 20th Anniversary Edition

Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus by Ched Myers.

An influential and thought-provoking interpretation of the Gospel of Mark, examining the story of Jesus through the themes of power, empire, inequality and resistance in first-century Roman Palestine.

First published in 1988, the book became an important work in contemporary biblical criticism. Myers combines detailed biblical analysis with historical and social context, presenting Mark's Gospel as a call to radical discipleship with continuing implications for Christianity and social justice.

This substantial 20th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface by Ched Myers, a foreword by Obery Hendricks and an introduction by theologian Sam Wells.

At approximately 540 pages, it is particularly suited to theology and biblical studies students, clergy, Bible-study readers and anyone interested in liberation theology, political theology and Christianity's relationship with social change.

Good used condition. The paperback covers show rubbing, creasing and general shelf wear, particularly around the corners. Pages are clean and well kept. Please see photographs for condition.
