I have chosen the topic of redaction criticism in the book of Mark. Redaction criticism is basically exploring the authors’ emphasis in certain passages by examining literary style and comparing them to other passages in the Synoptics. The comparison technique is primarily used for the books Matthew and Luke, since Mark serves as a groundwork that they probably built upon.
In the book of Mark, redaction criticism is done in a number of ways. I have chosen to focus on several of the summary statements, since there are so many to work with. It is my goal to discover Mark's ideas of importance in the life and character of Christ by examining how these summary statements differ from each other and the rest of the text.
