Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from St. Mark and the Triple Tradition
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 pre sumptuous; 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 honour 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.
