AB The related subjects of orality, literacy, and education have been among the most thoroughly interdisciplinary in recent years. Psychologists, anthropologists, historians, and scholars of literature and literary culture have compared evidence from their respective fields and learned from each others’. David Carr's new book belongs to a generation which takes such comparisons for granted, and he finds them essential in his own discipline of biblical studies., His subject is the role of the Hebrew Bible in the creation, maintenance, and transmission of a cultural-religious tradition. He argues that the Bible developed to a much greater degree than is usually assumed in educational contexts—often scribal and temple-based, but also synagogue-based and familial.
