This book challenges recent scholarly elevation of Mark's Gospel, examining justifications for this increased emphasis and whether these can be reconciled with traditional interpretations of its authorship. The author, changing his views on the subject more than once, explores the oral hypothesis and its shortcomings, and then examines how far results obtained may be reconciled with the long-held tradition about its origin. The book's third objective is to stress how modern reverence for its priority has significance for the Christology of the Catholic Faith. Throughout the author's study, he found reason to modify his views and recognizes the limitations imposed on him by parochial and other duties. In the course of his study of the questions involved, the author has found occasion to change his views more than once. The oral hypothesis found great favor with him at one time, and it was with reluctance that he found himself compelled partially to abandon it. He subsequently tried, but without success, to maintain that St. Mark's Gospel as we now possess it lay before the writers of the other Synoptic records. Some few results he has arrived at which, so far as he knows, are different from the conclusions reached by previous laborers in the field; but he is conscious of the many limitations imposed on him by pressure of parochial and other duties, and by his distance from any of the great consulting libraries of the country. The books which he has found helpful he has mentioned in the footnotes, sometimes indeed in terms of criticism which he has felt to be presumptuous; but he is convinced that the works of great scholars are rightly used as stepping -stones whereby students of less power may mount to fresh discoveries; no honor is done them when their names are used as weights to crush the free expression of opinions divergent from those which they may have maintained. He takes this opportunity thankfully to acknowledge that he has mentioned not a single book nor article in his footnotes from which he has not extracted valuable information, often the most valuable from writers with whom he is least in agreement. If his work should be found to contribute any element of value to the investigation of the great problems with which it deals, he will indeed be grateful to Him who alone gives power to work.
