The volume includes many of the Keener's most distinctive contributions to Markan research stemming from his commentary work. Whilst it is arranged by passage, many of the topics covered make many of the excursuses relevant to multiple passages throughout the gospel and to the study of ancient Christianity and its world. Such topics include marriage and divorce, ancient medicine and healing, ancient conceptions of anger, hospitality, baptism, the emotions, feasting and viticulture, as well as fascinating insights into the use of Aramaic in the world of Jesus and linguistic comments on biblical Hebrew and Greek.
