why was oral tradition important before writing was invented
people passed down the stories of generations before them through oral tradition
Alexander the Great was born after the writing of the last book of the Old Testament and died before the events described in the New Testament.
All stories stem from the oral tradition, yes. We spoke before we invented writing.
The Gospels are only a brief summary of the life and ministry of Our Lord. He was active preaching for about 3 and a half years and only a fraction of what was said and done is recorded. The apostles handed down much more information verbally that became known as tradition. To be honest, most of the Old Testament is based on tradition. It was handed down from generation to generation verbally before it was finally put into writing.
There is no tradition or apocryphal writing that answers that question. We do not know.
no
In your last will and testament you will declare how and to whom all of your assets are to go upon your death. If you have minor children, you will need the name of the party or parties you wish to name as guardian for your children until they are adults.
The old testament before. The new testament after.
There is no direct record of Jesus specifying the canonical books of the New Testament during his lifetime. The formation of the New Testament canon was a process that developed over centuries through the early Church's discussions and decisions.
The culture was an oral tradition, there was no written language. So before Western colonisations native americans had no such thing as "writing paper". Since then, various tribes have adopted the roman alphabet for some written purposes.
Some scholars believe they did. Tradition holds that it was written centuries before that, but this seems unlikely.
