Rafael Rodriguez on the Gospels and Memory

Since this blog has been reviewing the older models of form and redaction criticism, it is important to look at some of the more recent approaches regarding orality, memory, and media studies. I am not a specialist in these fields, but Rafael Rodriguez is and last month he provided an eight-part critical review of Bart Ehrman’s popular book  Jesus before the Gospels: How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented their Stories of the Savior (part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). I found this to be a helpful introduction to the research.
