Abstract
ABSTRACTGiven that the Bible is among the main sources of knowledge about the early church, how do we know how the early Christian communities understood the memory of Jesus within their context? In this study I use the experience of violence in Zimbabwe as analogy to illustrate how Mark 3:22–35 might have functioned. I argue that the way victims of violence in Zimbabwe heard these stories, told in their own context of political violence, provides an analogy that relates directly to how the Markan community used these stories as collective memory.
