Text and tradition in performance and writing

Embedded in modern print culture, biblical scholars have been projecting the assumptions and concepts of print culture onto the texts they interpret.

Only recently have some scholars struggled to appreciate texts that later became "biblical" in their own historical context of oral communicatiion.
