While the concept of orality is widely accepted, it has not resulted in a corresponding effort to understand the reception of the gospels within their oral milieu. In this book, Kelly Iverson reconsiders the experiential context in which early Christian literature was received and interpreted. He argues that reading and performance are distinguishable media events, and, significantly, that they produce distinctive interpretive experiences for readers and audiences alike. Iverson marshals an array of methodological perspectives demonstrating how performance generates a unique experiential context that shapes and informs the interpretive process. Iverson's study explores the dynamic oral environment in which ancient audiences experienced the gospel stories. He shows why an understanding of oral performance has important implications for the study of the NT, as well as for several issues that have gone largely unquestioned by biblical scholars"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Gospels $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 630 07 $a Bible. $p Gospels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808065 650 0 $a Bible plays $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Performance $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 7 $a RELIGION / Biblical Studies / New Testament / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Bible plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831249 650 7 $a Performance $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02017286 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Iverson, Kelly R. $t Performing early Christian literature $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781009029209 $w (DLC) 2021029118 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16105B02BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
