Bound to become a classic in the field of gospel studies... Ched Myers has produced a commentary that is potentially as revolutionary as the very gospel account it portrays.' Sojorners'Myers has produced a commanding and coherent political commentary on the Gospel of Mark, distinguished in its grasp of biblical and social scientific scholarship and amazing lucid in its style and argument... A cogent and venturesome biblical embodiment of liberation theology.' Norman K. Gottwald'Twenty years later Binding the Strong Man still has the ability to push its readers into a fresh new perspective on what it means to be in discipleship with the Human One who seeks to realize the Reign of God in our social, historical, spiritual, and political landscape.' Brian Blount, President, Union Theological Seminary'This book is a primary source used the Holy Spirit Among Us for the building of the Beloved Community of God on earth as it is heaven.' Ed Loring, The Open Door CommunitySince its publication in 1998, Binding the Strong Man has been widely recognized as a landmark in contemporary biblical criticism. Applying a multidisciplinary approach called 'socioliterary method,' Myers integrates literary criticism, sociohistorical exegesis, and political hermeneutics in his investigation of Mark as a 'manifesto of radical discipleship.'
