INALIENABLE POSSESSION IN THE GOSPEL OF MARK: A LINGUISTIC AND REDACTION-CRITICAL STUDY
INALIENABLE POSSESSION IN THE GOSPEL OF MARK: A LINGUISTIC AND REDACTION-CRITICAL STUDY

Summary/Abstract: This article provides a linguistic and redaction-critical study of “inalienable possession” in the Gospel of Mark. “Inalienable possession” is a common linguistic phenomenon that occurs in many Indo-European languages but has rarely been examined in NT Greek. My contribution will inquire how the Greek language of Mark codes inalienable possession and which objects and relations of possession are conceptualised as inalienable. It will further examine how Matthew and Luke redacted Mark’s coding of inalienable possession.
