Publisher's Synopsis
"You have heard that it is said to the ancients" asks the example of the reception story of Am 7,10-17 and 1 Kön 13 about the meaning of the answer of the listener or the listener, especially of elders, to spoken things for the origin and tradition biblical texts and incorporates observations and terms from recent communication research. The "listener response theory" is an addition to methods that are devoted to the reading reception of written texts.
