Danove’s virtually exhaustive study of the Gospel of Mark supplies a most basic and thorough level of textual analysis that is both quantitative and hermeneutical. The author operates with the precision of an analytic philosopher as he maintains a keen awareness of his role as a researcher and interpreter within a larger theological enterprise. By focusing on the character, attributes, and activity of God, the work addresses issues that are of central importance to communities of religious believers. The study both affirms much existing scholarship and offers new insights, with conclusions that are relevant not only for biblical scholars but also for systematic theologians who can build on its findings.
