Description

Discover a fresh perspective on how Biblical texts were created and used in ancient Israel. In Writing on the Tablet of the Heart, David Carr presents a new model for understanding the production, revision, and reception of Scripture. This work moves beyond the idea of simple reading on parchment or papyrus to explore how written and oral traditions worked together. By examining the oral-written interface in ancient Near Eastern, Greco-Roman, and medieval contexts, Carr shows how texts served as essential tools for education. The book explains how writing helped enculturate ancient Israelites, especially the elite, by supporting a process of memorization and recitation. This study provides deep insight into the connection between written documents and the oral traditions that shaped ancient religious life. This scholarly work from Oxford University Press is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the origins of literature and the historical development of the Bible. It offers a clear look at how the written word functioned as a support for a living, oral culture.
