Ending of Mark," Michael A. Turton's Historical Commentary on the

commentary on the Gospel of Mark, focusing on the historicity of people,
places, events, and sayings in the world of the Gospel of Mark."
-
"Now What?"
Kate Huey, Weekly Seeds, iucc.org, 2009.
- "Fred Craddock
suggests that Mark's "accent" on the cross is the very reason that
he didn't include resurrection appearances that might pull focus
away from it as the meaning of discipleship: 'For Mark, the
resurrection served the cross; Easter did not eradicate but
vindicated Good Friday.'"
-

- Exegetical
Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks.
- "It can be easy to
"see" the risen Christ in a packed Easter Sunday worship
service, or perhaps even in a sunrise or the spring flowers
blooming; but where is the risen Jesus when the people return home
-- to the drudgery of the same old things? The risen Christ has gone
there ahead of them. They will see him."

textual notes.

- "The God of Mark’s ending works in our world in
ways that defy expectation and elude our every attempt at control."
-
Marginally Mark, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western
Australia.
- "Perhaps some of us out in the daily margins of life
are where the women are as they approach the tomb: who is going to help
us roll the stone away? What is the stone in our case? What's locking
not Jesus but us in?"
-
"He Has
Risen: He Is Not Here!"
Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
- "What happened that morning was not the result of a
group of true believers (they came to properly bury Jesus—not to await
his resurrection as Jesus prophesied), instead we have a small group of
broken women whose love for their friend was even greater than their
expectations of him."
-
"Dangling Gospel," Thomas G. Long, The Christian Century,

- "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)."
-
"Beginning Again,"
Tim Geddert, Direction, 2004.
- "Of all the footnotes to be found in modern
translations of the Bible, surely none are more puzzling (perhaps
disturbing) than those that comment on the ending of Mark."

"Intertextuality, the Hermeneutics of 'Other,' and Mark 16:6-7: a New but
Not New Challenge for Biblical Interpreters," Michael Trainor,
Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2005.
- "A hearing of the Markan text from the perspective of
the hermeneutics of 'other' reveals startling insights into the gospel's
meaning of the resurrection and its implications for a world that suspects
the other."
- "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."
- "Women
Transformed: The Ending of Mark is the Beginning of Wisdom," by Marie Sabin in
CrossCurrents, Summer 1998.
- "Mark's assertion that
"they said nothing to anyone" must be taken as the final
Markan irony. The statement echoes Jesus' first charge to the cured
leper "not to say anything to anyone" (1:44); as one hears
the echo, one must also remember that the leper immediately
"went out and began to talk freely" (1:45). The leper
became a preacher; so here, the very fact of Mark's Gospel is
testimony to the eloquence of the women."
- 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.
- (From "Patron/Client
Contract") "...Jesus accepts the will of God, the patron
benefactor of all, including Jesus. In return for his willingness to
die a humiliating death on the cross, God transforms Jesus' corpse
into a body that can rise up from death and be absent from the
tomb."

"The
Changing Role of Women in the Early Christian World,"
Howard Clark Kee, University of Pennsylvania. Theology Today,
1992.
- "If the church in our time
were to take with full seriousness the radical openness toward women
and their participation in the life of God's people that
characterized the movement at the outset, it could result in a
significant contribution toward renewal of both the church and the
human race."
-
"Blurring
the Boundaries: A Response to Howard C. Kee,"
Virginia Burrus, The Theological School at Drew University. Theology
Today, 1992.
- "...a blurring of
religious or cultural boundaries in our historical
reconstructions may cut against the smugness that frequently
creeps into Christian discussions of Judaism and other religious
traditions. The roots of a distinctive Christian feminism would
appear to be entangled in Jewish and pagan traditions, rather
than emerging in pure and radical opposition to those
traditions. Second, a blurring of chronological boundaries in
our historical reconstructions may cut against the tendency to
locate orthodox or authentic Christianity almost purely in a
statically defined "golden age" of the distant past.
After all, how liberating is it for Christian women to be
invited to focus exclusively on "the insights of Jesus and
Paul"?"
