Description: "The concepts of social memory and social identity have been increasingly used in the study of ancient Jewish and Christian sources. This volume offers an up-to-date presentation of how social memory studies and socio-psychological identity approach enrich the study of Biblical and related literature. The articles examine how Jewish and Christian sources participate in the processes of collective recollection and in this way contribute to the construction of distinctive social identities."--Back cover.
