Simbolo e narrazione in Marco
la dimensione simbolica del secondo vangelo alla luce della pericope del fico di Mc 11, 12-25
By Lorenzo Gasparro
This scholarly exploration invites readers into a deeper understanding of the Gospel of Mark through the lens of symbolic interpretation. Lorenzo Gasparro presents a fresh perspective on one of the most puzzling episodes in Christian scripture: Jesus's encounter with the fig tree, traditionally known as the "cursing of the fig tree and cleansing of the temple."
Drawing from two key insights about the often-overlooked symbolic dimensions of the Gospels, this comprehensive study challenges conventional interpretations of Mark's narrative. Gasparro argues that the traditional designation of this biblical episode fails to capture its true meaning and significance within the broader theological framework of Mark's Gospel.
Through careful analysis of this particular passage in Mark 11:12-25, the author reveals how symbolic language in the Gospel serves not merely as rhetorical device, but as a fundamental expression of Mark's unique christological vision. This approach illuminates previously hidden theological trajectories within the second Gospel, offering readers new pathways for understanding the deeper spiritual dimensions of the text.
The work demonstrates how attending to symbolic elements can transform our reading of familiar biblical narratives, revealing layers of meaning that speak to contemporary spiritual seekers. For those interested in biblical interpretation, narrative criticism, and the intersection of symbol and theology, this study provides valuable insights into how ancient texts continue to offer profound spiritual wisdom through careful, thoughtful examination.
