Social memory research has complicated the relationship between past and present because it is a relationship which finds expression in memorial acts such as storytelling and text-production. This book shows how social memory research has complicated the relationship between past and present in New Testament studies.

The last three decades have seen an explosion of biblical scholarship on the oral expression of tradition among Jesus' followers. However to date, no comprehensive introduction to the field exists. Rodriguez adopts a fourfold structure to address this gap, examining the field's key terms, scholars, methodology and rationale.
