Presenter at

Bible & Archaeology Fest XII, November 20-22, 2009
Oral Texts and Rhetorical Contexts
The cultures of the Bible were oral cultures, with only about ten percent literacy at the most. In such a culture, texts function differently: they are surrogates for or prompts of oral communication. This lecture will examine the ramifications of this fact for the study of the New Testament.
