Description

Considerations of oral transmission have long been a staple of Gospel studies. (1) The experimental examination of the characteristics of human memory has likewise been a significant part of the academic discipline of psychology from its inception. (2) Yet, with a few notable exceptions, (3) those working in the field of Gospel studies have made little use of the insights that might derive from experimental psychology. This article reports on three of a series of six experiments designed to explore some of the characteristics whereby materials copied from written texts may be distinguished from orally transmitted materials. The experimental design is the result of a collaboration between academics from the two diverse fields of Gospel studies and experimental psychology. The article will conclude with a consideration of some of the implications for the study of the Synoptic Problem that might derive from the results of the experiments.
