Abstract
Abstract What then is, or was, the gospel of Mark? What kind of text would it have been seen to be, either by its author or by its first readers and auditors? We are speaking of what most literary critics refer to as the problem of “genre,” though personally I should have preferred “type” or “kind,” or even Lewis’s Latin “genus” (which could be conveniently contrasted with “species”). Be that as it may, the history of discussions of literary genres is a long one, and the nature and significance of literary genre remain matters of debate. What follows merely sketches one view of these questions.
