Summary

Juel probes selected texts from Mark in order to discern the world in front of the text. His goal is to close the distance between the present reader and the first readers without abandoning historical study-literature has degrees of fictionality. To accomplish this, Juel has broadened the insights of rhetorical analysis to include the whole interpretive enterprise.
