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. In the
process, the volume challenges current approaches to research
problems in Christian origins, such as the history of the Gospel
traditions, the birth of early Christian literature, ritual and
ethics, and the historical Jesus. The essays, taken in aggregate,
outline a comprehensive research agenda for examining the
beginnings of Christianity and its literature and also propose a
fundamentally revised model for the phenomenology of early
Christian oral tradition, assess the impact of memory theory upon
historical Jesus research, establish connections between memory
dynamics and the appearance of written Gospels, and assess the
relationship of early Christian commemorative activities with the
cultural memory of ancient Judaism. Contributors include April D.
DeConick, Arthur J. Dewey, Philip F. Esler, Holly Hearon, Richard
Horsley, Georgia Masters Keightley, Werner Kelber, Alan Kirk, Barry
Schwartz, Tom Thatcher, and Antoinette Clark Wire. "Paperback
edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature
(www.sbl-site.org)."
