Social memory research has complicated the relationship between past and present because it is a relationship which finds expression in memorial acts such as storytelling and text-production. This relationship has emerged as a dialectic in which "past" and "present" are mutually constitutive and implicating. The resultant complication directly affects the procedures and products of "historical Jesus" research, which depends particularly on the assumption that we can cleanly separate "authentic" from "inauthentic" traditions. In Structuring Early Christian Memory Rafael Rodriguez analyzes the problems that arise from this assumption and proposes a "historical Jesus" program that is more sensitive to the entanglement of past and present.

"As he himself describes it, Rodriguez feels around the edges of the gap between traditional text-based scholarship on the gospels and the increasing recognition that oral and performance dimensions are crucially important for understanding how the gospels came to be and their original reception and impact. He does not aspire to fill in the gap, but to delineate the shape of what is missing in order to understand how modern interpretation of the written texts might have gone astray. His topics are Jesus tradition in memory and performance, contemporary research into historical Jesus and the gospels, a framework for apprehending early Christian traditions, and the healings and exorcisms of Jesus in the sayings tradition." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
