The Disciples According to Mark

Redaction criticism attempts to identify biblical authors' theological interests by examining their adaptation of sources. Focusing on representative studies of Jesus' disciples in the Gospel of Mark, this pioneering book by C. Clifton Black has become a standard evaluation of that method's exegetical reliability.

C. Clifton Black is Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey. His other books include The Eighth Day of Creation: An Anthology of Christian Scripture.
