Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel According to Mark The biblical history consists of two great parts, contained in the Old and New Testaments respectively. The New Testa ment portion naturally falls into two divisions; the Gospel His tory or life of Christ, from his birth to his ascension; and the Apostolical History, from his ascension to the close of the canon. The Gospel History, when measured simply by its chrono logical dimensions, or the space of time included in the narrative, is but a small part of the sacred history, yet fully entitled to the place assigned it, both by its absolute and relative importance. The absolute value of the Gospel History is that arising from the dignity of its subject, as the Life of Christ, in which, to our conceptions, there is nothing little or uninteresting, since all his words and actions are intrinsically great and worthy of attention.
