These essays use Gerhardsson's work as a launching pad to reflect on developments in the field over the past fifty years and to propose new avenues of inquiry. This dual focus gives the proposed book a distinct advantage as a history of research : building on an established precedent to survey the past while projecting the future. As these scholars are, in fact, leading voices in their respective fields, the collection must be received as an authoritative statement on the topic. --Tom Thatcher, Professor of Biblical Studies, Cincinnati Christian University Gerhardsson's Memory and Manuscript is a landmark in the fields of orality, memory and tradition. Kelber and Byrskog's work serves as a fitting tribute to this movement, simultaneously offering critical assessment and advancing many of his seminal ideas. This volume is without parallel. --Kelly R.

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 Kelber and Byrskog's work is a valuable piece of scholarship on an important topic, one which has raised controversy especially at its beginning.
