In this stimulating monograph, Villalobos Mendoza leads the diligent

reader to a re-appreciation of Mark's Jesus as an enabler of human

freedom. The freedom that ought to be every human's birthright is, we

know, everywhere constrained by custom, regulation and law. But for the

Jesus of Mark, order itself is disruptive, boundaries are transgressed,

hierarchies are dismantled, and the bodies of humans, animals and

trees are interconnected.
