Use of the Pentateuch in Mark: locating the gospel within Second Temple Judaism

本博士课程的目的是：(1)探索《五经》在马可福音中的应用；(2)将这一探索置于当前围绕犹太教福音书的辩论中。越来越多的学者对将福音书理解为嵌入第二圣殿犹太教的兴趣。从早期的“分道扬镳”的二分法开始，福音书越来越多地被解读为“不仅是在1世纪犹太教的“背景”下，而且实际上是其流动和灵活结构的一部分”（Cirafesi, 2021）。近年来，在这个更大的讨论中，出现了对马太福音、路加福音和约翰福音的新解读。然而，在这场辩论中，马可的犹太性在很大程度上被忽视了。虽然第二部福音书的个别部分出现在犹太教福音书的一般著作中，但没有对福音书的文本进行系统的研究。因此，拟议的研究不仅对理解《摩西五经》在《马可福音》中的作用具有内在的重要性，而且对纠正围绕犹太教福音书的讨论中对《马可福音》的贫乏处理也具有更广泛的相关性。

The aim of this PhD is (i) to explore the use of the Pentateuch in the gospel of Mark and (ii) to situate this exploration in current debate surrounding the gospels within Judaism. There is a growing scholarly interest in understanding the gospels as embedded within Second Temple Judaism. Moving away from earlier 'parting of the ways' dichotomies, the gospels are increasingly being read 'not merely against the "background" of 1st century Judaism but as actually a part of its fluid and flexible fabric' (Cirafesi, 2021). Fresh readings of Matthew, Luke, and John have emerged in recent years within this larger discussion. The Jewishness of Mark, however, has been largely overlooked in this debate. Although isolated sections of the second gospel appear in generic work on the gospels within Judaism, no systematic study of the gospel's text has been undertaken. The proposed research is therefore not only intrinsic importance in understanding how the Pentateuch functions in the gospel of Mark, but also of wider relevance in redressing the meagre treatment of Mark in the ongoing discussion surrounding the gospels within Judaism.
