Jesus Before the Gospels
How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented Their Stories of the Savior
Book • 2016
In this book, Bart D. Ehrman delves into the role of oral history in the transmission of stories about Jesus.
He examines the gap between Jesus's life and the earliest written accounts, discussing how memories of Jesus were passed down through generations and how these memories were influenced by the communities that preserved them.
Ehrman draws on psychology, anthropology, and historical research to analyze the evolution of these stories and their impact on our understanding of the Gospels.
