Walter Brueggemann (born March 11, 1933) is an American Protestant Old Testament scholar and theologian who is widely considered one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of the last several decades. [1] His work often focuses on the Hebrew prophetic tradition and sociopolitical imagination of the Church.
Biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann observes that "theodicy is a constant concern of the entire Bible" [8] [9] and he describes theodicy, from the biblical perspective, as a subject that "concerns the question of God's goodness and power in a world that is manifestly marked by disorder and evil."
In the Gospel of Mark, generally agreed to be the earliest Gospel, written around the year 70, [3] [4] Jesus predicts his death three times, recorded in Mark 8:31-33, 9:30-32 and 10:32-34. Scholars note that this Gospel also contains verses in which Jesus appears to predict his Passion and suggest that these represent the earlier traditions ...
This prediction contains all the elements of the Passion except for the means, crucifixion. Jesus' delivery to the gentiles forms part of his prediction here, and likewise in the third predictions in Matthew (Matthew 20:19) and Luke (Luke 18:32). [12] This passage anticipates Mark 15:1, where the Sanhedrin hands Jesus over to Pontius Pilate. [13]
Marcan priority (or Markan priority) is the hypothesis that the Gospel of Mark was the first of the three synoptic gospels to be written, and was used as a source by the other two (Matthew and Luke).
While some scholars argue that Mark 16 is a Markan composition, [4] others argue that the chapter comes from an older tradition in the pre-Markan passion story. [5] Those arguing in favor of Markan creation point to the numerous time indicators in verse 2, which bear similarities to other phrases in Mark. [6]
