The Passion Narrative of St Luke

The book defends and develops the argument for a non-Markan basis for the Gospel of Luke.

Zusammenfassung
In this book the late Vincent Taylor defends and develops his argument in favour of a non-Markan basis for the Gospel of Luke which he first presented in his book Behind the Third Gospel. He answers critics of that book by a detailed study of the Passion Narrative and concludes that Luke used, in this part of his gospel at least, a special source which was as old as Mark but independent of it.
