Abstract

CASAS RAMIREZ, Juan Alberto. Conversion as a Necessary Condition for Following the Lord According to the Gospel of Mark. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2013, vol.40, n.93, pp.127-146. ISSN 0120-131X.

The following paper asks about the systematic and biblical development of the concept of conversion in order to do an analysis of the particular theological treatment in the Gospel of Mark. It is found that conversion in this gospel, though announced, is not explicitly narrated as an action performed during Jesus' public teaching, but is prefigured as an eventuality from the meeting with the crucified-resurrected; such meeting, since it produces a whole transformation in the person through grace, constitutes a necessary condition of an authentic following of Christ, which fits in with the lonerganian concept of religious conversion.

Keywords : Conversion; Gospel of Mark; Discipleship; Metanoia; Epistrepho.
