I’m trying to start work on my Exegesis of Mark paper, and it was recommended that I use outlines. Here is one I found:
John B. Polhill, class notes and handouts (received) by Robert Lee Foster,
1992-1999, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.I. The Prologue to the Gospel of Mark 1:1-13
I think that the Prologue here is important and deserves a bit more fleshing out.

Do you have any outlines in particular which you use for the Gospel of Mark?
Chad and I are working through the Gospel of mark, translating it. We havent put out an outline. I think that will come as we go along.
I really need to get it down. But then again, 5 pages, double spaced, on Mark’s theology is going to be pretty easy, I think
