The Lost World of Scripture: Ancient Literary Culture and Biblical Authority

By John H. Walton and D. Brent Sandy

Book Overview

Walton and Sandy summarize what we know of orality and oral tradition as well as the composition and transmission of texts in the ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world, and how this shapes our understanding of the Old and New Testaments. The authors then translate these insights into a helpful model for understanding the reliability of Scripture.
