This volume is ideal for scholars desiring an entrée into Gerhardsson's work or issues of orality, textuality, and memory, as well as scholars who are well versed in these areas. It appropriately offers tribute to Gerhardsson in a manner that makes clear the past, present, and future of an exciting area of NT scholarship he helped create. -- Restoration Quarterly

...these essays will invite further reflection about the impact of oral-memory models on contemporary discussions of biblical historicity and authority. -- Ritva H. Williams -- Biblical Theology Bulletin

Anyone interested in the work of Gerhardsson, scribal practice, oral tradition, or the gospels in general ought to add this work to their library. -- John Walker -- Freedom in Orthodoxy

Few scholars have influenced New Testament scholarship in the areas of orality, memory, and tradition more profoundly than Birger Gerhardsson. Today, as these topics have again become important in biblical scholarship, his pioneering work takes on a new light. Though the esteemed contributors may differ on issues in the burgeoning study, they have all enthusiastically taken on the dual task of evaluating Gerhardsson's contribution anew and bringing his insights up to date within the current debate.

Additional contributors are Loveday Alexander (University of Sheffield), David E. Aune (University of Notre Dame), Martin S. Jaffee (University of Washington), Alan Kirk (James Madison University), Terence Mournet (North American Baptist Seminary), and Christopher Tuckett (University of Oxford/Pembroke College).
