Excerpt from The Gospel of Mark: An Exposition
Turning over the pages of this Harmony of the Synoptic Gospels the reader will at once notice a number of words in black type. On examination, he will find that the same, or nearly the same black type recurs in each of the three columns representing Mark, Matthew, and Luke; or, in other words, that this black type exhibits the matter common to the first three Evangelists. If he will then take the trouble to run his eye over the black type, taken by itself, he will perceive that these words, though extracted out of narratives, constitute a kind of narrative by themselves, a Tradition of the words and deeds of Christ. Since this Tradition is common to the first three Gospels, it may, for convenience, be called the Common or Triple Tradition.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the Synoptic Gospels, those three early accounts of Jesus's life and teachings that share striking similarities. The author guides readers through a comparative analysis of these texts, focusing on the "Common Tradition" ΓΆβ β the material found in all three Gospels. By highlighting the shared elements, the book aims to uncover a layer of narrative even older than the Gospels themselves, providing a glimpse into the earliest form of the Christian story. The author suggests that this Common Tradition represents a more concise, almost elliptical, version of the narrative, requiring interpretation and amplification by later writers. This process of interpretation, the author argues, contributes to the variations seen in the Gospels, making them more than mere copies but rather diverse retellings of a shared core tradition. The book challenges traditional understandings of the Gospels, inviting readers to see them not as fixed texts but as dynamic creations shaped by various historical and cultural contexts. By exploring the evolution of the Gospel story through its textual variations, the book offers a deeper understanding of the complexities of early Christianity and sheds light on the enduring power of the Christian message.
