A Miracle Unobserved: A Detailed Examination And Literary Analysis Of The Gospel Of Mark With Special Attention To Jesus' Entry Into Jerusalem
No full textRegarding Mark as a whole and examining it with the use of narrative criticism (a combination of literary criticism and theological interpretation) allows us to gain a richer appreciation for the message the author conveys. As Richard A. Horsley attests, "If we always read it in fragments, we will never get a sense of the full story." Experiencing the gospel in its entirety, the audience tenses with a sense of urgency as layers of meaning unfold across subplots filled with suspense, drama, miracles, politics, power, betrayal, and suffering -- all set against the backdrop of the kingdom of God. Like most stories, Mark's masterfully crafted narrative contains a variety of characters; however, they are not as fully developed as most characters found in modern literature. Instead, the author of Mark utilizes characters to convey meaning and further develop the plotline. This paper examines the literary characteristics, patterns, and meanings throughout the gospel of Mark and focuses on one character who has remained largely overlooked in scholarship, the colt from Mark's account of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. I assert that the author of the Gospel of Mark utilizes the colt in Mark 11:2 as a character within the narrative who, like the voice from heaven, the demons, and the winds and waves, also recognizes and submits to the authority of Jesus as the Son of God
Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: Advance Australian elections fair with Zali Steggall
No full textIndependent member for Warringah, Zali Steggall discusses her unusual path to politics and election integrity.
Among all the commentary about the ‘teal wave’ in the 2022 federal election, how has the presence of more independent candidates in Australia’s chambers of power changed the status quo of politics? And what more needs to change? In the face of scare campaigns from both major parties, how can we make sure claims made on the campaign trail by candidates or third-party campaign groups are based in truth? And how can we reform campaign financing laws in ways that ensure transparent donations – for both independents and candidates from the major parties? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Independent MP and the “OG Teal” joins frequent guest Professor Paul Pickering and Professor Mark Kenny to discuss her journey as an independent candidate and how to make Australian elections fairer and more transparent.
Zali Steggall is the independent member for Warringah.
Paul Pickering is an Emeritus Professor and Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute.
Mark Kenny is a Professor at the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.

material referencing today’s Black Lives Matter
campaign. Included in the display are first
editions of Marcus Garvey’s ‘Philosophy and
Opinions’, published in two volumes in 1923 and
1925. It was Garvey, through his organization, the
Universal Negro Improvement Association, who
pioneered the rallying cry, “Africa for the
Africans, those at home and those abroad!” Also
included here are copies of the original journals
in which appeared the seminal texts by George
Schuyler and Langston Hughes respectively – “The
Negro Art Hokum” and “The Negro Artist and the
Racial Mountain”
Also on display is a tract penned and selfpublished
in 1931 by wealthy white socialite
Nancy Cunard, in defense of her relationship with
Henry Crowder, an African-American jazz
musician who was working in Paris – a relationship
that incurred the displeasure of Cunard’s mother.
The display will be on view throughout the Spring
Semester 2017.
