Sažetak
The final quarter of the twentieth century has been characterized by the employment of a variety of new methodologies in NT study. Models imported from the field of cultural anthropology have proved particularly fruitful for scholars interested in gaining a better understanding of the world of the early Christians. Near the beginning of almost every introductory textbook dealing with the cultural background of the NT, the reader encounters a chapter addressing Mediterranean sensibilities concerning honour and shame. Honor is consistently identified as the single most important value or "good" in the ancient world. The cultural centrality of honor serves, in turn, to explain much about Jesus' interactions with his antagonists in the Gospel narratives. My intent here is to carefully examine a single important encounter between Jesus and his adversaries narrated in Mark 11:27-33. I will highlight the way in which the pivotal value of honour in Mediterranean society illuminates the text at crucial points in the course of the highly charged dialogue.
