This is due to Mark's first chapter introducing several terms that require in-depth discussion upon their initial appearance. The work aims to encompass four Parts: - Part I covers the antecedents, actions, and words of John the Baptist, exploring the relationship between John and Jesus until Jesus enters Galilee "after John had been delivered up." - Part II focuses on the Proclamation of the New Kingdom—the Kingdom of the Son—and the ensuing conflict between the Old and the New. - Part III examines the Law of the New Kingdom, highlighting the theme of Victory through Defeat. - Part IV addresses the concepts of Defeat and Victory.

This volume begins with Christ's teaching in parables and concludes with His directive to His followers: "Let him deny himself and take up his cross." These Synoptic traditions are often obscure in meaning and origin. The text aims to demonstrate that the Fourth Evangelist, who does not mention "parable" or "cross," frequently alludes to Christian concepts related to these terms. This exploration seeks to clarify why the writer omitted these words and to provide insight into what Christ may have intended. The investigation starts with Mark's Gospel for three reasons: it contains the earliest form of Synoptic tradition, Matthew and Luke have drawn heavily from it, and it appears to have been largely overlooked by early editors and scribes. Notably, Victor of Antioch, writing in the fifth century, noted the absence of a continuous commentary on Mark's Gospel.

This section serves as an introduction to the tenth part of a series that has previously focused on words. This volume aims to elucidate thoughts using evidence derived from earlier elucidations. The earlier parts can be seen as a process of letting down nets, while this one attempts to draw them in. The "nets" refer to extensive footnotes in previous volumes, which were often lengthy and seemingly digressive, written with future investigations in mind. Just as fishermen sometimes appear to row away from a shoal while trying to encircle it, the previous volumes may have seemed to stray from their main focus. In contrast, this volume may face criticism for having insufficient notes to support the statements made in the text. The author requests readers to understand that it is not feasible to both draw in and let down nets simultaneously. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic works, utilizing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct texts while preserving their original format and addressing imperfections.
