The Language and Style of the Gospel of Mark: An Edition of C.H. Turner’s Notes on Marcan Usage together with Other Comparable Studies

C.H. Turner pioneered the study of the language and style of Mark’s Gospel in a series of articles in the 1920s entitled Notes on Marcan Usage . All but one appeared in the Journal of Theological Studies , one further Note is published here for the first time. It is Turner’s articles reprinted with editorial additions that form the backbone of this book. Comparable articles by those who have followed in Turner’s footsteps (G.D. Kirkpatrick, J.K. Elliott and N. Turner) are also included, some of which are published for the first time. These studies into the language, style and usage are relevant for work not only on exegesis, but also on the textual criticism of the Gospel and on the synoptic problem. Offering access to these essays in one volume and including new studies, this volume should serve as a convenient reference tool for Marcan scholars.
