Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Mark´s Life of Jesus It is not the smallest merit of Dr. Robinson´s little book that his pages send us back to the Gospel of Mark itself; they are to be read with Mark´s story of Jesus, not instead of it. You may say that a gospel tells its own story; why add comment or explanation? But, although the plain words of the gospel are intelligible enough, they need to be explained, for the writer could take much for granted that we cannot supply, and those who read his tale originally were familiar with a life that has passed away. This gospel was written nearly nineteen hundred years ago, in another language, and for people of a very different environment to ours. The end of a book like Dr. Robinson´s is to put us as far as possible in the same position as those to whom this gospel first came. "Objects, even as they are great, thereby Do come within the range of humblest eyes"; and this gospel, though little in size, is one of the great books of the world; it is within the range of our intelligence, but we need to be put in the proper focus for seeing it. This, I think, Dr. Robinson has succeeded in doing. He has done us the great service of supplying our minds with the needful historical appreciation of the period. The result is that the life of Jesus as Mark describes it becomes more real for us, and so more wonderful than ever. Such is the effect which Dr. Robinson´s pages produce, and we cannot be too grateful to him for using his scholarship in order to show us how to look back and also to look up to the great Object of St. Mark´s gospel.
