The most recent volume of Religious Studies Review includes a review
of my Jesus’ Literacy: Scribal Cultureand the Teacher from Galilee by C. Thomas Fraatz. It’s very positive and I’m grateful. He does say several times that I seem to be
following Dale Allison’s approach with social memory, and my ego compels me to
clarify that, although I slotted Allison into the discussion once his book came
out, I wrote all of it before it came out, and was working with social memory
as a grad student almost ten years ago (following Tom Thatcher as it were, not
Allison). But, being accused of
following Allison puts me in great company!
Thanks C. Thomas!
I’ll have some more posts on Jesus’ Literacy coming soon.
