Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. Mark: With Introduction and Notes
IN entering upon a study of one of the Gospels, it is important to distinguish between the book itself and the problems to which it gives rise. The book, together with the influence it has had over the mind, the heart, the will of men, constitutes a fact. So long as we deal with this fact we are dealing with certainties, and the essential preliminary to any effective criticism of a Gospel - considera tion of its sources, authorship, and date, its historical value, its relation to other Gospels - is to see the fact itself as clearly as may be, to let the book speak for itself. The fact first, its meaning and worth later: in the former investigation we try to see what indubitably is, in the latter to exercise judgment upon problems still in the region of debate and uncertainty. Hence this brief Introduction will look first at the book itself - its subject, contents, and characteristics; then at the main problems which gather round it.
