Theology notes continues - Attending the Tomb

Attending the Tomb -  They hold on til the end.

2nd last function -  good news according to Mark.  Reminded Miracle Stories to believe to have life.

Another thread -  how we approached the text  1.  narrative approach.   2.  social political -  alert to signals of what is going on there and how does that influence the text.  What goes on now also seeps into the text - how we read.  What is each of our locations have to do with our readings.  To be suspicious is to be alert. 

Today that continues.  A more mundane aspect.  What does it mean to read from an economics position?
