The Rhetoric of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark is written by Michael Strickland and published by Fortress Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1506438474 (ISBN 10) and 9781506438474 (ISBN 13).

Young and Strickland analyze the four largest discourses of Jesus in Mark in the context of Greco-Roman rhetoric in an attempt to hear them as a first-century audience would have heard them. The authors demonstrate that, contrary to what some historical critics have suggested, first-century audiences of Mark would have found the discourses of Jesus unified, well-integrated, and persuasive. They also show how these speeches of the Markan Jesus contribute to Mark‘s overall narrative accomplishments.
