This study aims to investigate the concept of divine unity and Christological monotheism as articulated in Mark 12:29. Comprehending the unity of God is essential, as it underpins Christian theological frameworks. The proclamation of God's oneness articulated by Jesus in Mark 12:29 resonates with the Shema. This declaration has significant implications for elucidating Jesus' identity and mission, wherein Jesus also asserts the cohesiveness of God from a triune perspective. Furthermore, Mark employs elevated Christological terminology without diminishing the humanity of Jesus. This notion is further underscored by the doctrine of hypostatic union, which elucidates the dual nature of Christ. Jesus' affirmation of God's unity in Mark 12:29 articulates a statement concerning the uniqueness of God that aligns with Jewish monotheistic traditions. Concurrently, Mark portrays Jesus as the embodiment of God's promise, whereby God actively engages in the historical narrative of human existence. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research methodology, the author endeavors to examine divine unity and Christological monotheism through the lens of Mark 12:29. The author concludes that this examination reinforces the doctrine of the Trinity while also affirming both the divinity and humanity of Jesus.
