{"product_id":"9781451487534","title":"Behind the Gospels: Understanding the Oral Tradition: Understanding the Oral Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155673989360,"sku":"9781451487534","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451487534_p0.jpg?v=1763836703","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451487534","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
