The short course on the gospel of Mark provides an overview of the gospel’s setting, structure, and message. Mark’s purpose was to show Jesus as the Messiah who both has come in power and as a suffering servant. Leading by serving is only one of the ironies Mark presents in his portrait of Jesus. Dr. Cohick also presents the controversies surrounding the abrupt ending of the gospel from a textual criticism basis.
Dr. Cohick is interested in studying how average Jews and Christians lived out their faith in the ancient settings of Hellenism and the Roman Empire, as well as how Jews and Christians today can better appreciate and understand each other. She also studies women of the ancient world—especially how they celebrated their religions—and the impact of feminist thought on New Testament studies. She also enjoys studying the Apostle Paul and his epistles within their larger Jewish and Greco-Roman milieu.
Dr. Cohick had the privilege of teaching overseas at the Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya for three years, and was challenged by the students’ dedication and sharp intellect.
