Publisher's Synopsis
"For over 150 years the idea that Mark used the Pauline epistles has been recurring in New Testament research. Now in the work of Tom Dykstra, wide-ranging work and thoughtful, the truth of that idea emerges with a clarity it never had before. The result is to give a fresh sense of the origin and nature of Mark, of all the New Testament books, and of the quest for history."
- -Thomas Brodie, Director, Dominican Biblical Institute, author of ¬ The Birthing of the New Testament
- David Trobisch, author of The First Edition of the New Testament "In addition to its main focus on Mark, this book is a lucid introduction to early church history, oral tradition, the gospels' genre, and how to understand scripture in general."
- Paul Nadim Tarazi, Professor of Biblical Studies, St. Vladimir's Seminary
