Summary: "Helen Bond argues that Mark's author uses the genre of biography--while both utilizing and subverting its literary conventions--to extend the proclamation from an earlier narrow focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus to include his way of life. The First Biography of Jesus shows how this was a bold step in outlining a radical form of Christian discipleship, one patterned on the life and death of Jesus."--Dust jacket flap
