ResumoI place Mark 10:45, one of the most-discussed verses in the gospel of Mark, in intertextual tension with the final episode of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . Read through this lens, phrases such as ‘son of man’, ‘give his life’, and ‘ransom for many’ acquire significantly different meanings than they do for Christian-canonical readings. This leads to re-evaluation of the control that the canon has over readings of biblical texts, and the prospects for non-canonical reading of the Bible.
