This book offers the first sustained attempt to read the Gospel of Mark both as an ancient biography and as a form of ancient rhetoric. Ben Witherington applies to Mark the socio-rhetorical approach for which he is well known, opening a fresh new perspective on the earliest Gospel.

Written when the fledging Christian faith was experiencing a major crisis during the Jewish war, Mark provides us with the first window on how the life and teachings of Jesus were presented to a largely non-Jewish audience.

According to Witherington, the structure of Mark demonstrates that this Gospel is biographically focused on the identity of Jesus and the importance of knowing who he is--the Christ, the Son of God. This finding reveals that Christology stood at the heart of the earliest Christians' faith. It also shows how important it was to these earliest Christians to persuade others about the nature of Jesus, both as a historical figure and as the Savior of the world.

Wrong size on shirt’s tag and description!
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Dark Blue
We have ordered Van Heusen dress shirts in size 16.5 neck and 36”-37” sleeves for years. This shirt’s sleeves are 2-3” too short! The shirt is tagged wrong. I ordered the same size brand and shirt in a different color and you can see the difference in the sleeve’s length in the photo! Annoyed I need to return the defective item.

Works for me!
Size: 15"-15.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Hazy Blue
I needed a couple shirts for wearing under a sport coat, these will do nicely. I got them in Blue and Grey. As with all dress shirts, I’ll have to wash them to get the wrinkles out, I hit them with my portable steamer as well. They aren’t think enough to hold a good ironing unless you use spray starch, but for $20 I’m fine with that. The tag on the shirts said $60, I would be pretty disappointed if I actually paid $60 for them; but for $20 the value is good. I’m 5’8” and 180, so got the Medium 15/15 1/2 Regular fit, it’s a great fit for me. They came out of the wash fine, and are soft to the touch. I would expect them to wear as expected for a $20 shirt, and think the durability will be fine.
