Memory in the Bible and Antiquity : The Fifth Durham-Tubingen Research Symposium (Durham, September 2004) Hardback
Edited by Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Stephen C. Barton, Benjamin G. Wold
Part of the Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament series
Hardback
Description
The volume brings together essays that explore the topic of memory and remembrance in the ancient world, taking into account the Hebrew Bible (Deuteronomy, 1 and 2 Kings), ancient Judaism (1 and 2 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Dead Sea Scrolls), the classical world, the New Testament (Jesus, Synoptic Gospels and Acts, Gospel of John, Pauline letters) and Early Christianity (Petrine tradition).
The essays, which focus on a wide range of sources from antiquity, open up new questions about the social and religious function of memory.
As a collection, they demonstrate how much social memory theory can contribute to the understanding of the ways ancient texts were, on the one hand, shaped by conventions of memory and, on the other hand, participated in and contributed to evolving strategies for reading "the past".
