Dunn, James D. G. The Oral Gospel Tradition. Eerdmans, 2013.

This was a required text for my class on the Synoptic Gospels that was colisted between masters and doctoral students. I really enjoyed the book and felt that Dunn did a brilliant job explaining the oral transmission behind the synoptics. A main takeaway was Dunn's discussion of scholarships over reliance on textual explanations for synoptic problem issues. Dunn argues for oral transmission as a means to explain synoptic variances and relationships.
