Memory, Tradition, and Text - Uses of the Past in Early Christianity

Social and cultural memory theory examines the ways communities and individuals reconstruct and commemorate their pasts in light of shared experiences and current social realities. Drawing on the methods of this emerging field, this volume both introduces memory theory to biblical scholars and restores the category "memory" to a preeminent position in research on Christian origins. "Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)."
