Jesus and Time
An Interpretation of Mark 1.15
Ma’afu Palu
• This is the first
book-length
treatment of
Jesus’ view of
time
• Examines verse
from Fathers to
reformers
• Detailed
examination of greek
Palu argues that Mark 1.15 denotes an
ongoing dynamic of time fulfilment,
beginning with the appearance of Jesus
and then mapped onto two phases of
the horizon of Jesus’ view of time. Palu
concludes that the biblical notion of
time is to be tied intimately to the hope
of the restoration of Israel, ultimately
manifested in the Kingdom of god.
