Sumario:This book explores a new model for the production, revision, and reception of Biblical texts as Scripture. Building on recent studies of the oral/written interface in medieval, Greco-Roman and ancinet Near Eastern contexts, David Carr argues that in ancient Israel Biblical texts and othertexts emerged as a support for an educational process in which written and oral dimensions were integrally intertwined.
