The Passion Narrative of St Luke

by Vincent Taylor, Owen E. Evans (Editor)

s/t: A Critical & Historical Investigation
This is the last of the late Vincent Taylor's many notable contributions to NT scholarship & in particular to the controversy about the sources of St Lukes gospel. Taylor defends & develops the arguments in favour of a non-Markan basis for Luke which he 1st presented in 1926 in Behind the Third Gospel. He answers critics of that book by a detailed study of the Passion Narrative & concludes that St Luke used, in this part of his gospel at least, a special source, an authority which was as old as Mark but independent of it & which preserved accounts of the death & resurrection of Jesus given by the 1st Christians. The work has been edited & prepared for publication by a former pupil of Vincent Taylor's, the Rev. Owen E. Evans. It should interest all specialists in NT studies as the last research of a distinguished scholar on a problem of continuing importance.

I used this book for my exegesis on the passion of Christ. It was very useful.
