| Summary: | The collective memory theory of Maurice Halbwachs shows that the memory traditions of Jesus recorded in the Second Testament have a function beyond the mere provision of factual information about the historical figure. From this perspective, the memory of Jesus is understood to be constitutive of Christian community and to be normative for the collective self-definition. This essay explores this theory by way of an analysis of 1 Thessalonians. |
