At the core of the investigation are the healing narratives: passages that explicitly deal with a transformation from a described deviant bodily state to a positively valued corporeality. Lena Nogossek-Raithel not only analyzes the terminological and historical descriptions of these physical phenomena but also investigates their narrative function for the gospel text. The author argues that the images of dis\/ability employed are far from accidental. Rather, they significantly influence the narrative's structure and impact, embody its theological claims, and characterize its protagonist Jesus.\u003cbr\u003eWith this thorough exegetical analysis, Nogossek-Raithel offers a firm historical foundation for anyone interested in the critical interpretation and theological application of the Markan healing narratives. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLena Nogossek-Raithel\u003c\/strong\u003e, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42730788388960,"sku":"9783112215258","price":35.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/r2FGOQAwKQ9783112215258.webp?v=1777499963","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/dis-ability-in-mark-representations-of-body-and-healing-in-the-gospel-narrative-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
