This being from 1966, is he working from the view of the documentary hypothesis?

Some of these reviews give you more info concerning Taylor's presuppositions: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Ministry-Jesus-Vincent-Taylor/dp/1178915867

I don't think he slavishly adhered to the Documentary Hypothesis/Source Criticism, but I could be wrong.

I briefly discussed the Doc Hypothesis here: https://fosterheologicalreflections.blogspot.com/search?q=documentary+hypothesis

Edgar Foster said...

My understanding is that the Documentary Hypothesis applies to the Pentateuch, not strictly to the GNT. But source criticism is practiced for GNT documents.

Duncan said...

Thanks, source criticism, not sure what it was called. I am just referring to the idea that mark is the first g.

Edgar Foster said...

Yeah, that is source criticism when one tries to figure out the sources behind Gospels or other literature. The idea that Mark was written first is also known as Markan Priority: Taylor seems to advocate that view.
