Stephen Chrisomalis<\/a> and Mark Dingemanse<\/a> both respond to the notion that our society shows evidence of a return to orality. It is certainly far more common now than it was a couple of decades ago for people to listen to a book in the car or on their ipod. But one doesn\u2019t have to go back much further than that and weekly radio shows provided a similar sort of aural presentation of narrative. In short, we are certainly witnessing changes in media culture and use, but not in a way that will make it easier to answer questions about orality and the New Testament, of the sort that April<\/a> DeConick<\/a>, Mark Goodacre<\/a> and NT Wrong<\/a> have been discussing.<\/p>\n

Speaking of changing media, Danny Zacharias<\/a> has a music video on YouTube to help you learn the Greek first declension paradigm.<\/p>\n
