John's Transformation of Mark explores the relationship between the gospels of Mark and John, arguing that John knew and used Mark. It challenges the prevailing view of independent traditions and suggests that John intended his work to be a supplement or replacement of Mark. The volume uses social memory, secondary orality, and ancient literary genres to investigate how John used Mark and the implications for biblical criticism.

John's Transformation of Mark is a groundbreaking work that brings together a stellar cast of internationally renowned biblical scholars to explore the intricate relationship between the Gospels of Mark and John. This book challenges the prevailing notion that the two gospels represent independent traditions and presents a compelling argument that John both knew and utilized the earlier gospel. By employing recent analytical categories such as social memory, 'secondary orality,' and 'relecture,' as well as ancient literary genres like 'rewritten Bible' and 'biography,' the contributors to this volume delve into the central questions that drive this exploration. These questions include how John used Mark, whether we should label their relationship as 'dependence,' 'familiarity with,' or 'reception,' and whether John intended his work to be a supplement or a replacement of Mark.

Through a comprehensive analysis of these chapters, the book makes a strong case for reassessing one of the fundamental pillars of modern biblical criticism. It opens up exciting new avenues for further research, shedding light on the complex interplay between the two gospels and providing valuable insights into the historical and literary context of the New Testament.

In conclusion, John's Transformation of Mark is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical scholarship, theology, and the history of Christianity. It offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between Mark and John, challenging traditional assumptions and paving the way for further exploration into the rich tapestry of the New Testament.
