Elizabeth Malbon tracks the way in which the characters other than Jesus are portrayed in the Gospel of Mark, employing a literary approach that reveals their contributions to the Gospel story. After outlining the four elements of narrative criticism, Malbon explores each of the characters and shows how their interaction advances the narrative.
Elizabeth Struthers Malbon is Professor of Religious Studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Her published works include Mark’s Jesus and In the Company of Jesus: Characters in Mark’s Gospel.
