Oral Transmission and the Dream Narratives of Matthew 1–2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This careful study investigates the cultural affinity of the dream accounts in Matthew’s Infancy Narrative through a promising, fresh approach based on orality and memory studies. Shaw’s insights into these areas and painstaking comparison with a wealth of contemporary dream material make this a significant contribution to the questions he addresses.”

The Galilean Wonderworker

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An increasing interest in Jesus’ miracle-working activity has arisen over recent years. In this book Wallis provides an important, insightful, and informative contribution that not only explores how Jesus’ reputation as a healer-exorcist arose, but describes in depth how sickness and healing would have been understood and experienced in his time and culture and then goes on to discuss the impact of Jesus’ healing ministry on the early Christians who came after him.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
