Abstract

The “quest of the historical Jesus,” like other such probes of the pre-modern world, is a progression that begins with the performing subject, Jesus of Nazareth; whose words and deeds pass into the memories of those of his followers who witnessed his life and heard his words and shared them with others; the oral transmission of those memories though a succession of tradents; their passage into literary form, in this instance, the Gospel According to Mark; which comes to the historian in the form of a manu-script, a document hand-copied again and again over the centuries, as the evidence for the message and meaning of Jesus of Nazareth. The entire sequence is fraught, but this essay looks more closely at its most problematic phases, the three of so decade passage from what Jesus did and said to the earliest Gospel, that “according to Mark.”
