| Zusammenfassung: | Despite the volume of ink spilled over the ending of Mark, thus far no investigation has focused on the variety of emotional responses that the jarring conclusion would have aroused among audiences. In this article, I attend to emotional responses evoked by the narrative as a natural extension of the recent emphasis on the Gospel as "heard" (communally) rather than "read" (privately). After demonstrating the inherent heterogeneity of ancient audiences, I draw on cognitive science to discuss different ways audience members become emotionally involved in a narrative. I then present what I believe are the most plausible emotional responses to the abrupt ending of the Gospel of Mark. As we will see, the intersection of ancient theories of emotions and modem theories of cognition yield valuable insights for an audience-oriented reading of Mark's ending. |
