Mark: The Good News Preached to the RomansPaulist Press, 1995 - 177 pagini Mark: The Good News Preached To The Romans places Mark's work against the backdrop of life in ancient Rome. In vivid detail, Phillip J. Cunningham relates the history, the social and political life, and the citizenry of Rome by exploring the significant questions about life and faith from this early Christian community. The result is a fascinating study of the powerful relationship that existed between these first Christians and Mark's gospel within a Roman context. |
