| Summary: | This collection of essays in honour of Werner Kelber builds on an area in which he was a pioneer: the study of the Bible, and particularly Mark's gospel, in the light of recent work in a range of disciplines on orality and memory and their relationship with written texts., Several essays focus on the importance in Judaism and early Christianity of the oral transmission of what was or would become biblical material. Holly Hearon argues that many (most?) early Christians are likely to have heard rather than read the gospels, and that the written form of the text may not therefore have been as authoritative as we tend to assume. She also suggests that the differences between gospel stories may sometimes be due to frequent retelling, rather than to the evangelists’ theological agenda. |
