Gospel Women and the Long Ending of Mark

by Kara Lyons-Pardue

Book Overview

Kara Lyons-Pardue examines the issue of the ending of the gospel of Mark, showing how the later additions to the text function as early receptions of the original gospel tradition providing an ancient "fix" to the problem of the ending in which the women flee the tomb in terror and silence. Lyons-Pardue suggests that the long ending functions canonically, smoothing out the "problem" of 16:8 in ways that support the nascent four-gospel canon.
