Women in Mark's Gospel

Susan Miller teaches on the Theology and Religious Studies Access course at Glasgow University, UK.

"The strengths of Miller's study are numerous. Firstly she focuses on all the female characters in Mark, and not only those who are portrayed positively. Secondly she engages feminist scholars such as Amy-Jill Levine in an informed and independent manner. Thirdly she succeeds in connecting the inclusion of women in the ministry of Jesus, with the apocalyptic message of Mark. I found Susan Miller's study to be a highly original and stimulating anaylsis... it is clear that her study has made a meaningful contribution, not only to feminist studies of Mark, but also to Markan studies in general."   Marius Nel, University of Pretoria
