Abstract

Recent studies on Mark’s characterization of demons have concluded that the demons in Mark are wholly negative characters. This study argues that Mark portrays demons with more ambiguity by characterizing them in ways that overlap with other character groups, like supplicants. The article concludes by suggesting how this character analysis sheds light on the apocalyptic scenario that undergirds the narrative of the Second Gospel.
