Description
William Wrede was among the first to recognise the creative contribution of the Gospel writers. His work thus laid the foundation for the work of the Form Critics, Redaction Critics and Literary Critics whose scholarship dominated New Testament studies during the twentieth century. This highly influential work was throughout this period the departure point for all studies in the Gospel of Mark and in the literary methods of the evangelists. It remains highly relevant for its ground-breaking approach to the classically complicated question of whether Jesus saw himself and represented himself as the Messiah.

Persons
William Wrede (1859-1906) was a Lutheran theologian. He became associate professor at Breslau in 1893, and was a full professor from 1896 until his death. Characterised by his radical methodology, he proposed that New Testament theology ought to be approached according to historical method, and Scripture analysed appropriately. Das Messiasgeheimnis in den Evangelien was his defining work, but was not available in English until this translation was first published in 1971.
