Darlison, senior minister of the Dublin Unitarian Church and author of "The Shortest Distance: 101 Stories from the World's Spiritual Traditions", here offers an allegorical interpretation of the Gospel of Mark. Such an approach is hardly unusual (consider, e.g., Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan's exceptional "The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem"). However, his detailed analysis of Mark's Gospel through the allegorical lens of the signs of the zodiac and zodiacal mythology is unique. Darlison presents the Markan text (his own translation closely following Oxford's 1998 "New Revised Standard Version" is appended) as "a textbook of the spiritual journey written in astrological code," adding to the ten or so rather esoteric titles focusing on Christian aspects of the zodiac. Interesting, sometimes illuminating in spite of seemingly strained links to the zodiac. An optional purchase.James R. Kuhlman, Univ. of North Carolina at Asheville Lib.
