Beyond the Written Word: Oral Aspects of Scripture in the History of Religion
Graham, William Albert (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
The concept of 'scripture' as written religious text is re-examined in this analysis of the traditions of oral use of the sacred writings of religions. William Graham asserts the need for a new perspective on how scripture has been appropriated by religious people who could neither read nor write.
