"A book of comments -- brief, perceptive, eye-opening comments, in verse, stimulated by the book of Mark." Includes the complete King James Bible text of Mark, with Pike's poetry in counterpoint, the juxtaposition "speaks quietly to the Now Generation the true message of the Gospel." [quotes from book cover]
Kenneth Lee Pike (June 9, 1912 – December 31, 2000) was an American linguist and anthropologist. He was the originator of the theory of tagmemics, the coiner of the terms "emic" and "etic" and the developer of the constructed language Kalaba-X for use in teaching the theory and practice of translation.
In addition, he was the First President of the Bible-translating organization Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL), with which he was associated from 1942 until his death.
