Excerpt from St. Mark: Introduction, Revised Version With Notes, Index and Map

A word of explanation seems called for as to the larger scale upon which the notes on St. Mark are written as compared with the companion Gospels in this series. T he fact is that the literary relations be tween the first three Gospels in virtue of which they are called 'synoptic', and which constitute what is called The Synoptic Problem appeared to demand that somewhere in these Commentaries those relations and certain topics bound up with them should be dealt with somewhat systematically and fully. But if so, the Commentary on St. Mark was the most con venient place. For St. Mark is the fundamental extant document for the problem in question, con taining as it does most of the Synopsis or general view of Jesus' earthly ministry, particularly that in Galilee, common to the first three Gospels: and further the very fact that it is the shortest of the three allowed more easily of this extra matter, as well as of some extended discussion of other topics of historical.
