A book such as this, which comes out of many years' reflection on the Gospels, owes so much to so many that it would be impracticable to give a complete list of all my obligations, even were I consciously aware of them all. My chief obligations to previous writers and commentators on St. Mark are acknowledged in the Introduction and notes, but certain more personal obligations it is a pleasure to record here.

In april, 1949, Profesor G. Ernest Wright and I gave the Haskell Lecturaes at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. We took as our subject "The Bible Against Its Environment". Professor Wirght's three lectures were given unver the subtitle "The God of Israel and the Gods of the Nations". They contrasted the Old Testament with its environment by studies dealing successively with God, history, and the life of God's people. My own lectures, a study of the New Testasment under the subtitle, "The Gospel of Christ the Risen Lord", took up in turn the same three themes. The question which I undertook to answer was: How far does the New Testament present a content which is distint and different from the non-Christian religious life and writings of New Testament times?
It may be asked why I stated the contrast between the New Testament and its environment in termes of "The Gospel of Christ The Risen Lord". In these words I tried to lay hold of the common and vital content of the entire New Testament.

The history in doctrine, or in wider conception the History of Christian Tought, is a study of great importance for theologians and pastors. It came into existence about the beginning of the nineteenth century. At that time of rationalism its purpuse was to show that the confessional heritage of the church could not be mantained. But soon, with the revival of evangelical theology, the conservatives also adopted this branch and put into the service of theological conservatism.
