This chapter was relatively short and I would have liked to have read more about Lucan. But ultimately this isn’t a book about Lucan… so the next several chapters turn to a mimetic reading of Mark’s gospel. (here)
There are a few authors, if you are interested in reading more about Lucan.
- Frederick Ahl (don’t miss Lucan: An Introduction (Cornell Studies in Classical Philology ; V. 39)
- Paolo Asso
- Shadi Bartsch
By far, the most influential to Bartsch.
Anyway, check out what he has to say.
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).
