Gospel Media

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Drawing upon the best recent scholarship, modern literary and critical theory, a wide array of ancient textual sources, and both common sense and statistical analysis, Elder ‘colorizes’ our sense of ancient gospel tradition within the world of ancient Mediterranean media, ably navigating its rich diversity. Gospel Media is an excellent book that builds on a cresting wave of scholarship on ancient media—reading, writing, textuality, and publication—in relation to gospel tradition and looks to synthesize a new paradigm that is to be taken seriously by future generations of scholars of the gospels and of ancient media more generally.”
