The Biblical resource series Memory and manuscript: Oral tradition and written transmission in rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity with tradition and transmission in early Christianity Birger Gerhardsson - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans 1998 - 426tr. Paperback 23cm

In Memory and Manuscript (1961), Gerhardsson explores the way in which Jewish rabbis during the first Christian centuries preserved and passed on their sacred tradition, and he shows how early Christianity is better understood in light of how that tradition developed in Rabbinic Judaism. In Tradition and Transmission in Early Christianity (1964), Gerhardsson further clarifies the discussion and answers criticism of his earlier book. This Biblical Resource Series combined edition corrects and expands Gerhardsson's original works and includes a new preface by the author and a new foreword by Jacob Neusner that summarizes these works' importance and subsequent influence.
