There is a love stronger than death....The God of Christians is not an arbitrary ruler who demands the price of suffering and death, but a God who makes possible all of our loves, as well as our resistance to evil.' How indeed will we respond?"

• "First Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary," Passion Sunday, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
  • "The killing of Jesus, however incidental to the tasks of governance for the Roman and Jewish authorities, masks the worst in human brutality. Regimes do this to people in the name of all kinds of claims to common good and, not least, to the furtherance of peace. People do this to people, when anger and fear conspire to suppress love and goodness. We all do it. Mark's is an 'in your face' account of the killing of love."
• "Liberation," Passion Sunday, Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel. Adult Study, Children's Story, Family Activity, Support Materials.

• "Truly This Was the Son of God," (Mark 15) Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
  • "We can be assured, that although he might have called many men exemplary or weak, he would never have called a man; ‘the Son of God.’  And, above all, we must be amazed that the Centurion would give that awesome title to a criminal on the cross."
• "Judas as Patron Saint," Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century, 1987. At Religion Online.
  • "Judas’ attitudes parallel our own. We are so caught within the iron vise of our secular, materialistic, hedonistic perspectives that the God of Jesus is like an illicit mistress or lover whom we, like Judas, kiss in the dark."
• "Prayer from Gethsemane," commentary by Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century, 1978. At Religion Online.
  • "Jesus’ anguish on the cross was more than pain. His rejection by humanity and God called everything into question."

• "The Gospel of Mark from Beginning to End," James T. Dennison Jr. in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed)
  • "Mark begins and ends his gospel with schism-a division, a parting, a rending-the schism of the heavens (chapter 1: 10); the schism of the veil in the temple (chapter 15:38)."
• "The Unnamed Woman and Jesus," James T. Dennison, Jr., in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed)
  • "And so it is that the unnamed woman in chapter 14 becomes the first in a parade of loyal minor actors in Mark's passion narrative."
• "Reflection on the Eucharist," Corpus Christi B, Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel. Adult Study, Children's Story, Family Activity, Support Materials.

• "Mark 14," "Mark 15," "Plot to Kill Jesus - Judas," "A Woman Anointed Jesus," "Last Supper," "Peter's Denial," "Arrest," "Before the High Priest," "Before Pilate," "Crucifixion," wikipedia.
• "The 'Passion' of John the Baptist and Jesus before Pilate: Mark's Warnings about Kings and Governors," Mark McVann, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2008.
  • "It is argued that Herodian and Roman (in) justice are indistinguishable and that Mark warns his readers that they should expect no better treatment from the authorities with whom they may have to deal than John and Jesus had."
• Mark 14:3-9 and the Ordination of Women, The Ministry of Women: Texts for the Celebration, Kristine Carlson, Texts in Context, Word & World, Luther Northwestern Theological School, 1995.
• "'It Was Out of Envy That They Handed Jesus Over' (Mark 15:10): The Anatomy of Envy and the Gospel of Mark." Anselm C. Hagedorn and Jerome H. Neyrey, Journal for the Study of the New Testament 69 (1998):15-56.
  • "Mark, we contend, knew as only natives knew the full social dynamic of honor and envy. His hero was crucified in shame, which demands an explanation; and he offers us a culturally plausible one narrating how Pilate "perceived that it was out of envy that they handed Jesus over" (15:10)."
• "Where Are the Quotations? Citation-less Introductory Formulae in the Gospel of Mark," Emerson B. Powery, Journal of Biblical Studies, 2004.
  • "The argument of this paper is that such apparent ambiguity—that is, the omission of any precursor text—is intentional in the Gospel of Mark to highlight a broader claim that the whole of scripture, and not any one biblical text in particular, receives fulfillment in the activities of Jesus’ life."
• Tae Hun Kim, "The Anarthrous ui(o\j qeou= in Mark 15,39 and the Roman Imperial Cult," Biblica Vol. 79(1998) 222-241.Abstract.
  • "Although it is difficult to ascribe the whole of Markan christology to only two verses, I argue that 1,1 and 15,39 are quintessential statements of Mark’s christology that must have challenged Markan readers to reconsider who the real "Son of God" was to them."
• "Jesus' Eating, Transgressions and Social Impropriety in the Gospel of Mark: A Social Scientific Approach," Dietmar Neufeld, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2000.
  • "Food events provide an opportunity for Mark to portray Jesus in fierce debate with the religious elite from which he emerges an honorable man but for which he is eventually executed. Eating and food are occasions for Mark to present Jesus, not only as popular hero, but also as subversive sage."
• M.J. Haren, "The Naked Young Man: A Historian's Hypothesis on Mark 14:51-52," Biblica 79 (1998) 525-531. Abstract.
  • "...in the sources for the Passion there is only one figure besides Jesus who was the object of a projected arrest by the authorities and one figure besides Jesus on whom an arrest is known to have been actually attempted."
• "Mark 15,39 and the So-Called Confession of the Roman Centurion," E.S. Johnson, Biblica 81 (2000).
  • "Continuing examination of the grammatical, literary and historical evidence indicates that the centurion's remarks about Jesus in Mark 15,39 cannot be understood as a full Christian confession of Jesus' divine sonship, and cannot be taken as a direct challenge to any Roman emperor in particular."
• "The Book of Zechariah and the Passion Narrative," F.F. Bruce,  Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, 1961.
• "Burying the Dead in Simple White Shrouds," by Anita Diamont, at Jewish Heritage Online Magazine's Topic of the Month: Colors. 
  • "The traditional clothing for burying the dead are tahrihim, simple white shrouds. Their use dates back to Rabbi Simeon ben Gamliel II, who, in the second century CE, asked to be buried in inexpensive linen garments. According to the Talmud, Rabban Gamliel observed that the custom of dressing the deceased in expensive clothing put such a terrible burden on the relatives of the deceased, that they would "abandon the body and run.""
• A number of examples of socio-rhetorical interpretations of Mark 15 - 16, from "Examples of Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation in Mark," at Dr. Vernon K. Robbins' Encyclopedia of Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation.
• "The Reversed Contextualization of Psalm 22 in the Markan Crucifixion: A Socio-Rhetorical Analysis," Vernon K. Robbins, The Four Gospels 1992: A Festschrift in Honour of Frans Neirynck.
