Many scholars believe that reading in Jesus' time was an activity confined to the elite. Wright overturns this and other common misconceptions to show that communal reading events permeated first-century culture. His perceptive insights raise important questions regarding the formation of the Jesus tradition, contours of book culture in early Christianity, and other topics. 320 pages, hardcover from Fortress.
