Book Description
"Unlike literature in the modern western world, ancient documents were typically crafted for the ear rather than the eye. Jeffrey E. Brickle analyses the oral patterning and resulting soundscape reflected in the prologue of First John. After discussing contemporary techniques of sound analysis and establishing the study's methodological approach, Brickle examines the prologue's aural profile. To do this he explores, describes, and graphically depicts, the patterns of sound that emerge. Brickle then uses approaches to Greek pronunciation and orality advocated in recent New Testament research to determine the impact on the prologue's soundscape. He employs the principles for beautiful and effective composition elucidated by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his treatise On literary composition. The results and implications of this study enable Brickle to suggest further ways to apply research in orality, performance, and memory to ancient texts"--From publisher description.
