Looks interesting, but I can't find the whole article anywhere.

Public membership in the SBL will give you access, and is reasonably priced:

Also, in general and regardless of outlet, an academic author will usually send you a copy of an individual paper if you request it of them. Wendt's email is on the preview page at JSTOR.

Here is an interesting quotation from the article:

"Mark’s innovation on τὸ εὐαγγέλιον is that he “has taken a term coined as a
summary of oral preaching and used it to describe (the content of) an extended
narrative.” Within that narrative it is also placed in Jesus’s mouth as the content
of his own teaching.36 The effect is that much of Jesus’s activity is shown to have
involved proclaiming τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ in precisely the manner Paul will do
(Mark 1:14; cf. Rom 1:1);

Jesus even adumbrates its essential proclamation to gen￾tiles (Mark 13:10). Commentators have observed that this portrayal of Jesus as
an itinerant herald of the gospel is largely without biblical precedent but has
many analogues in the activities of Greco-Roman sophists and philosophers.
The resemblance is even stronger to Paul, who had much in common with these
figures but, like Jesus, differed from them in his pneumatic demonstrations, rituals,
and eschatology.38 So too does Jesus’s constant movement in the service of pro￾claiming τὸ εὐαγγέλιον in various places (1:38) recall Paul’s ambitious itinerary."

This is of interest to me vis-a-vis my study of Galatians

Gal 1:6-7
Θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς ἐν χάριτι
Χριστοῦ εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον, ὃ οὐκ
ἔστιν ἄλλο, εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες
ὑμᾶς καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

I had suspected that "the gospel of Christ" (a secret: the phrase τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ does not appear in Mark) is used by Paul in Galatians in contrast to the outmoded "Gospel of God" proclaimed by Jesus. Unfortunately for my little thesis, Paul can also speak of "the gospel of God."

Lol, i was searching the article 2 days ago. I did not find it either. This scholar is interesting. I read his article about Galatians 3:1. That’s a very good article from a mythicist POV.

RE: "his article": "Galatians 3:1 as an Allusion to Textual Prophecy"

Heidi Wendt, M.T.S. (Harvard), M.A., Ph.D. (Brown), the author of both articles, goes by "her".
