Abstract
Literary sources for the study of the apostolic generation (30-70 CE) are scarce. Most of them were produced in Pauline circles and have a peculiar vision of other early Christian groups. This article studies the pre-Markan passion narrative as a source that can provide useful information about the life and theology of a non-Pauline group. It starts by a redactional analysis of the Markan passion narrative that permits to propose a reconstruction of the pre-Markan version of it. Different peculiar traits of this reconstructed passion narrative suggest that it was composed in Jerusalem during the period in which this community was under the guidance of James, the brother of the Lord. This implies that it can be a valuable source for the study of the Jerusalem church during the apostolic generation.
