Description
Contributing to the study of the Old Testament in the New, Robert Rowe explores the relationship between te kingdom of God and Messianic kingship in Mark's gospel, starting from 'two-tier' kingship in the Psalms, and considering inter-testamental literature.
'This fine study of Mark's Christology will be read eagerly by all serious students of our earliest Gospel. This well-written, thorough study is a delight to read. The author shows how strongly the evangelist Mark has been influenced by several Psalms and how close is the link between the two themes of his title.’ Graham N. Stanton, University of Cambridge. ‘This is a very thorough study, which shines light onto present research into the Old Testament Judaism and New Testament. It achieves a convincing result in this controversial field, leading research further.’ Prof. Dr. M. Hengel, Tübingen.
Robert Rowe studied theology at Cambridge University and London Bible College. This work is an updated version of his Ph.D., which was supervised by Dr. Donald Guthrie. Dr. Rowe is now senior partner of a law firm in London.
