Biblical Theme Map — Mark (Turkish)
| Theme | Mark references | Prior-package cross-reference | Turkish rendering consistency note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deity of Christ, shown narratively | 1:1; 4:41; 15:39 | Matthew deity-of-Christ; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-20 | Tanrı’nın Oğlu vocabulary consistent throughout; Mark’s inclusio structure (1:1/15:39) is distinctive. |
| Servant Christology | 9:35; 10:45 | Philippians 2:6-8 (kenosis) | İnsanoğlu… birçokları için fidye reused exactly from Matthew 20:28. |
| Freedom from ceremonial law | 7:1-23 | Galatians law-and-grace; Colossians freedom-from-religious-regulations | Rooted in Jesus’ own teaching, with Mark’s own explicit doctrinal comment (7:19). |
| The way of the cross / cost of discipleship | 8:31-38; 10:32-45 | (new emphasis; narrative rather than epistolary) | Concrete first-century cross-bearing background must be preserved; real apostasy-risk relevance for Turkish readers. |
| Divine suffering and the cry of dereliction | 14:32-42; 15:34 | Philippians kenosis of Christ | A profound theological question, flagged without adjudication. |
| Textual transmission and canonical text | 16:9-20 | (new category for this pipeline) | First explicit textual-criticism note in the Turkish portfolio. |
