Caurie Beaver's 'Mark’s Argumentative Jesus' explores the Gospel of Mark through the lens of Greek rhetorical argumentation. The book examines how Jesus engaged in debates using structured forms of argument typical of Greek rhetoric. Beaver argues that the Gospel is not merely a narrative but a sophisticated argumentative discourse that utilizes various Hellenistic rhetorical devices to persuade its audience of Jesus' Messiahship. The text delves into the mistranslation of the Greek word 'arché,' the rhetorical syllogisms used in Mark's Gospel, and the roles of figures like Elijah and John the Baptist. This scholarly work is intended for readers interested in biblical studies, rhetoric, and the historical context of religious texts.

Using a form of social-historical criticism this book provides a counter-reading of Lamentations that elucidates the impact and aftermath of siege warfare on Judah's peasants. The rhetoric of Lamentations, ancient Near Eastern writings, and archaeological evidence are considered, along with social models from other agrarian societies. Together these shed light on the changing social dynamics, religious customs, and political and economic structures of rural and urban Judah in the sixth century BCE. This study brings to life voices long silent, and suggests that Judah's peasants played a significant role in the survival of peasant and city-dweller alike, when Jerusalem fell.
