One Man's Web: I am following much work I have done in the past, which has been heavily dependent upon the online commentary of others. To honour what I have been given and to allow access to previous work (and to avoid “reinventing the wheel”), I have extensively reworked parts of posts at One Man's Web, acknowledging this in the footnotes.
I quote from the following resources, especially from Joel Marcus' exhaustive two volume commentary Mark, and Robert Hamerton-Kelly's Gospel and the Sacred.

Wikipedia. Yes, quoting from Wikipedia is not appropriate in academic settings. But for all its limitations, Wikipedia is an affordable resource for many of us. I have used it so readers can gain some introductory information on topics. If you find information in Wikipedia that seems useful, verify it elsewhere.
