Presents a multi-level approach to "Mark 15:34" arguing that a contextual reading of "Psalms 22:2" does not negate or dilute the presentation of Jesus as one in distress. This book discusses the patterns of the textual and liturgical use of the psalms and the presence of the motif of the Righteous Sufferer in Mark's socio-cultural milieu. 'Two features of this book are particularly praiseworthy. First, Carey repeatedly eschews traditional dichotomies, seeking to incorporate the strengths of competing positions. Second, she approaches the argument in an exceptionally thorough manner, using her narratival emphasis as a basis for incorporating discussions of the nature of her citation and allusion, socio-cultural queries, and Markan studies generally, all of which coalesce in her treatmnet of Mark 15:34.'
