Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar: Jesus the Messiah and Roman Imperial Ideology
In Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar, biblical scholar Adam Winn interprets Mark's Gospel against the backdrop of Roman imperial propaganda under Vespasian. Showing how Jesus' suffering messiahship subverts imperial claims to power, Winn equips students, pastors, and theologians to understand Mark's subversive political theology and embrace countercultural discipleship in Christ.
