Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Practical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Mark In St. Mark´s Gospel, moreover, there is a pervading peculiarity of phraseology, (inartificial indeed, yet idiosyncratic,) which to the lover of delicate tints and flickers of presentation affords a continual incentive to fresh investigation. Hence, in truth, much of the charm, as also much of the difficulty, in expounding St. Mark. The charm is intensified if the conviction can be substantiated, (as it undoubtedly can, provided the sum of the existing evidence be impartially weighed,) that St. Peter´s teaching within the circle of the early catechumens was the chief fountainhead from which St. Mark drew the substance and even the minutiæ of his Gospel. The flicker of St. Peter´s subjective conceptions is thus passing before us as we read. It is a fact fitted to stimulate. We feel as if we should not like to let slip any of that subtle essence, or quintessence, of mind which made the primary observations of the chief of the Lord´s personal attendants distinctive as well as distinct, and his subsequent reminiscences and representations invariably vivid and frequently picturesque. Whether attributable to St. Peter´s tenacity of memory, or to that unique element in his dialect which made his manner of speech, like that of every other original mind, peculiarly his own, or whether merely attributable to the reproductive idiosyncrasy of the writer, ´vexed expressions´ abound in St. Mark, and give ample scope for patient, yet exciting, research. There are ´vexed´ questions in addition, belonging to the department of Introduction, as distinguished from Exposition.
