Richard A. Horsley overturns that assumption, showing that the Jesus traditions were formed as popular traditions and transmitted through oral performance, not through the textual work of a scribal elite. In order to understand Jesus and the movement around him, we must attend to the dynamics of power, social memory, the interaction of `great` and `little traditions,` and the moral economy of peasant society in Roman Judea and Galilee. In these groundbreaking chapters, Horsley provides fresh and accessible sketches of a new approach to history `from below,` and offers a dramatic new picture of Jesus in context.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Richard A.
