New Testament scholars often talk about oral tradition as a means
by which material about Jesus reached the writers of the Gospels;
but despite the recent flowering of interest in oral tradition, the
study of memory, and the role of eye-witnesses, the latest
scholarly advances have yet to fully penetrate the mainstream of
academic Gospels scholarship, let alone the wider public. There is
no convenient book-length treatment that can be used by students,
or indeed by anyone else wishing to be informed about this crucial
topic. Behind the Gospels fills this gap, both by offering a
general theoretical discussion of the nature of oral tradition and
the formation of ancient texts, and by providing a critical survey
of the field, from classical form-criticism down to the present
day.
