In recent decades there has been a paradigm shift in the approach to biblical studies. Historical critical and form-critical methods have given way to approaching sacred text as a unified whole. Modern interpretative theories used in interpreting secular texts are now being used for the books of the bible. One such theory is that of reader-response. Reader-response theory is an intellectual response to the text bringing with it the reader's educational understanding in the widest possible context of life. The theory recognises that the text is a complex human construct that makes it unique. This thesis uses this theory to examine the role and character of Jesus in the gospel of Mark. / Thesis (MArts(ReligionStudies))--University of South Australia, 2002.
