Mar 24, 2015 at 7:01 comment added Dick Harfield @bruisedreed Rhoads, Dewey and Michie are acknowledged for their expertise, and Mark as Story has gone to three editions over a period of 30 years, so although we can hold other opinions, theirs is also worth hearing. Rhoads is professor emeritus of New Testament at Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago; Dewey is Harvey Guthrie Jr. Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies & fmr Academic Dean at Episcopal Divinity School; Michie is professor emeritus of English at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Mar 24, 2015 at 6:53 comment added Dick Harfield @MattGutting I looked at Amazon, but its extract does not have this page, so I linked the Amazon cover page and then scanned in from my book, the page I was quoting and include this as an appendix to my answer. I hope that helps.

Mar 24, 2015 at 5:19 comment added bruised reed "Mark does not portray Jesus' death as a sacrifice for sin" - That's a forced interpretation - cf. Mark 10:45 - "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many". The gospels (let alone OT prophecy) indicate that Christ had foreknowledge of his impending sacrifice, hence to argue that he "does forgive without sacrifice" is tendentious.
