Its analysis shows that the author of John knew a written version of Mark's gospel, had strong theological objections to how Mark depicted the nature and story of Jesus and the gospel message, and composed his gospel as a theologically corrected rewriting of Mark's, using the latter's gospel as a narrative guideline for his own composition. By focusing on several seemingly different stories in Mark and John that deal with issues relating to how Jesus proved his authority, the book places each of the incidents in their narrative, sequential, and theological context, demonstrating that John knew Mark's specific stories in the same sequential order that appeared in Mark, and that John's stories represented theologically altered rewrites of the ones in Mark. The study examines the nature of John's objections to Mark, what changes John would want to make to Mark, and the formulaic editorial techniques John used to transform Mark's gospel into John's gospel.
