Study Gospel in Scandinavia (7)
I believe the answer is:
denmark
'scandinavia' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'study gospel' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
'gospel' becomes 'Mark' (Gospel of Mark).
'den'+'mark'='DENMARK'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for denmark that I've seen before include "kingdom" , "Scandinavian country" , "A country of dark men?" , "Mark end of the country" , "Hamlet's country" .)
