In this stimulating monograph, Villalobos Mendoza leads the diligentreader to a re-appreciation of Mark's Jesus as an enabler of humanfreedom. The freedom that ought to be every human's birthright is, weknow, everywhere constrained by custom, regulation and law. But for theJesus of Mark, order itself is disruptive, boundaries are transgressed, hierarchies are dismantled, and the bodies of humans, animals andtrees are interconnected.
