| Description: |
Nicholas A. Elder challenges long-held assumptions about how the Gospels were composed, read, and circulated in the ancient world. Drawing on Greco-Roman literary culture, papyrology, and the latest historical research, he dismantles familiar myths, such as the belief that ancient people rarely read silently or that all four Gospels functioned as the same kind of text.
Instead, Elder offers a nuanced account of the diverse media environments in which Jesus traditions were written, copied, shared, and interpreted. By placing the Gospels within the broader practices of ancient communication, he illuminates how early Christian communities engaged with these texts and why their transmission was more dynamic than often imagined. Combining meticulous scholarship with accessible prose, Gospel Media reshapes our understanding of the New Testament's origins and reception.
Scholars of the gospels and classics alike will find Gospel Media an essential companion in understanding ancient media cultures. |
