What is the relationship between the earliest Gospel and the first Christian letters? Heidrun E. Mader provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between the Pauline epistles and the Gospel of Mark. She addresses several themes that Paul and Mark treat similarly, showing that Mark's Gospel takes up central topics of Paul's theology and develops them narratively. Among these are the universalist concept of the gospel, the integration of pagan Christ followers, the position of the Torah in early Christian community life, and the central role of the cross. Mader shows that there are specific and exclusive similarities between Paul and Mark that go beyond commonalities with other ancient writings. However, the results do not necessarily suggest direct literary dependence. Pauline theology could also have been transmitted orally, especially if we accept the hypothesis that Mark lived in Rome, where he could have encountered Paul himself in the early 60s.

Heidrun E. Mader, Prof. Dr. habil. theol., studied theology in Heidelberg and Cambridge (UK) and received her doctorate and Dr. habil in Heidelberg. She was appointed to the chair of Biblical Literature and its Reception at the University of Cologne in 2022. Recently, she has been awarded the Sasse-Prize.
