Gathered Around Jesus: An Alternative Spatial Practice in the Gospel of Mark
This innovative study makes a major contribution to the long scholarly discussion of the problematic geography of Mark's Gospel. Using both modern spatial theory and an exhaustive review of ancient evidence, Stewart demonstrates how Mark's spatial perceptions reflect Greek, Roman and Jewish understandings of human geography. He addresses Mark's editorial and compositional control over the geographic presentation of Jesusis ministry, ultimately arguing that in Mark, Jesus offers a unique spatialpractice.

Praise for this book
"This is an important contribution to Markan studies. Mark's historical geography may be sketchy, but if it is, it is because Mark is using the whole notion of space and place to re-define the locus of purity. It is no longer centred on the temple but rather on Jesus."Kent E. Brower, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, vol 33.5, August 2011
