Oral Tradition [Access article in PDF] Oral Tradition and Biblical Scholarship Susan Niditch Interest in oral tradition and the border where oral meets written has been an integral part of modern biblical scholarship. The very foundation of "form-criticism" as practiced by Hermann Gunkel and more recently Claus Westermann involves the search for traditional oral forms as they may have been performed and received in actual life settings. Close work with the recurring patterns of biblical language and content has been influenced moreover by the studies of Albert Lord and Milman Parry, so that a number of analyses have explored the possibility that pieces of biblical literature are rooted in oral performance (Robert Culley, David Gunn). In recent years, the shift in orality studies, reflected in the work of John Miles Foley and the many articles that have appeared in Oral Tradition , has affected the way in which biblical scholars approach the topic of orality in ancient Israel. No longer are many scholars convinced that they can uncover original oral Ur-forms, nor that the most seemingly oral-traditional or formulaic pieces are earliest in date. I have argued that Israelite literature includes many oral "registers" reflecting various tastes, functions, and milieus. The most formulaic may be the latest in date, for an ongoing oral tradition of some kind is a constant in every culture. Similarly, scholars are increasingly sophisticated about the nature of "oral" and "written" and about the meaning and nature of literacy in traditional or ancient cultures.

Writing The Word Critics often argue that: That short sayings of Jesus were the only ones recorded; and, by implication, are the only ones that we may reasonably assess as having been passed down to us from Him with any accuracy; and, That these short sayings circulated by word of mouth for some 20 years before being written down.

Oral Tradition And The Formation Of Sacred Scripture The first of two pages on topics such as the comparison of ancient and modern techniques to record events, a chronology of how the Pentateuch moved from an oral tradition to a written text, and some examples of the earliest pieces of the oral tradition. http://www.catholicevangelism.org/h-scripture1.shtml

History: Salvation History Canon Covenant How Scripture Came to Be Page 1 Next: Page 2 Oral Tradition and the Formation of Sacred Scripture We live in a culture formed and dependent upon written material. This has grown in importance from handwritten texts and legal documents through printed books through the information age. An ancient nomadic people depended upon oral tradition. The purpose of the shared story was less to give a chronological account (what and when) than to give a reason for the existence of the group (why). Memorization was the key, but it was not rote memorization. The basic outline was the same, and usually related in a communal setting (such as the celebration of an important feast). Oral style demanded that the storyteller stick to the well-known plot or the basic outline of the facts, but he often varied the details and the order of minor incidents, or even added in extra episodes if the celebration were a big one. He worked to create the most pleasing effect and the best presentation of the occasion... (Boadt, p. 77)
