The Use of Psalms in the Narrative Structure of Mark integrates the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament into the study of narrative criticism. In the beginning of his Gospel, Mark succinctly states that it is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Mark 1:1). Mark uses Psalms at the key junctures of his Gospel narrative that Jesus' identity and works as the Christ, the Son of God, fulfills the Psalmic vision of the eschatological Messiah who ushers the kingdom of God. This book invites its readers to not only understand how Mark weaves Psalms into his Gospel narrative adroitly, but also appreciate the theological and literary richness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Reviews for The Use of Psalms in the Narrative Structure of Mark

""While the use of Psalms in Mark's Gospel is widely discussed, their placement at key moments and their role in Mark's overarching narrative and theological framework remain underexplored. This study addresses that gap through a close analysis of Psalms 2, 22, 110, and 118 as they are seamlessly woven into Mark's portrayal of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Davidic king who inaugurates God's kingdom. Readers will appreciate its fresh perspective, cogent argument, and clear, concise prose."" --S. Aaron Son, Professor of Biblical Studies, Dallas Baptist University ""Dr. Lee has accomplished a rare task: he has kept sight of both the forest and the trees. With hermeneutical clarity and competence, the book addresses the fine details of Mark's use of the psalms. At the same time, it presents the contours of the entire Markan narrative and how those details integrate into the larger picture. As a result, he presents a compelling case for Mark's use of the psalms throughout the Gospel."" --Joshua E. Williams, Professor of Old Testament, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
