Summary:

"This book is the first of a two-volume work on the origins of the gospel form from a social memory approach. Social memory takes account of both the individual and the community in the formation of the gospels by considering social frameworks and socially significant narrative patterns that individuals use to remember and recount the past. Part 1 reviews the history of scholarship and then develops a social memory approach and a method of textual study, drawing on insights from recent research on orality, memory, and narrative. Part 2 offers a series of textual studies, focusing on Capernaum and Nazareth, illustrating factors that might have contributed to the construction of a gospel as an extended narrative, inclusive of Jesus's words and deeds, and why such a narrative was essential to early Christian memory of Jesus." -- Publisher, page four of cover, volume 1.

"The second of a two-volume work continues the social memory approach of the first volume, seeking social frameworks of memory and narrative patterns of social significance that can explain the construction of a gospel as an extended narrative about Jesus, including his words and deeds. This volume focuses on Elijah (and Elisha) typology in the gospels, these prophets serving as major "figures of memory" in the construction of gospel narrative. It shows how traditions preserved in Mark and Q functioned to raise the question of Jesus's identity vis-à-vis Elijah, to offer answers to the question, and to locate stories about Jesus on one or more "time maps," thereby establishing the basis for an extended narrative about Jesus. It also demonstrates how extended gospel narrative functioned to integrate memories of Jesus into different frameworks of Christological interpretation." -- Publisher, page four of cover, volume 2.
