The present volume contains the proceedings of the Second International
Colloquium of the Leuven Centre for the Study of the Gospels which dealt
with the major source- and redaction-critical issues that are at stake
in explaining the composition and theology of the Gospel of Mark. Though
a "classical" question, the issue seems to have lost some of its
momentum in recent years, but the papers and the discussion they brought
about demonstrate that it remains a crucial aspect and foundation for
any type of research on the gospels. Contributors were asked to study
the ways Mark has composed his gospel on the basis of various sources
and traditions, which at times he used quite freely, putting his own
mark on part of this source material, and even combined with such
sections he probably created himself. The overall picture is that of an
author who is constantly in dialogue with the Christian tradition he had
received, while also actively contributing to its further development
for some of the central topics of Christian theology. Contributions by
H.T. Fleddermann, P. Foster, J.S. Kloppenborg, J. Marcus, M.J.J. Menken,
U. Poplutz, C.M. Tuckett, A. Wucherpfennig, R. Zimmermann.
