Summary
Through a careful reading of several ancient texts such as Chariton''s Callirhoë, Fullmer identifies an ancient storytelling convention with roots in the Homeric tradition in which narratives of death and revival accentuate significant points in a story. In Mark''s Gospel, resurrection narratives accentuate the power of Jesus'' ministry (Mark 5:21-43) as well as the ironic disloyalty of Jesus'' disciples as their failure is first assured (Mark 9:14-29) and later realized (Mark 16:1-18). The reader of this study will come to appreciate how the irony of the Gospel - a literary feature that.
