In the quest for the historical Jesus, memory studies are seen as an important breakthrough in the study of the historical Jesus and the way forward in establishing the historicity of the Gospel traditions. This article evaluates the claim made by memory studies by evaluating memory studies’ critique on the methodology of the criteria approach. In this evaluation attention is given to the methodological points of departure of memory studies, including an assessment of the few examples memory studies thus far have produced in their investigation of the historicity of the Gospels and the historical Jesus. The conclusion reached is that memory studies are guilty of what they accuse the criteria approach, and thus far have not yet offered a viable methodological alternative to the current criteria approach used in historical Jesus research.

“…I understand 'tradition' as a cultural artifact that can take many media forms but necessarily stands as a touchstone between the past and the present. As other publications of mine have elaborated, I am heavily influenced in this regard by Barry Schwartz, Edward Schils and Jan Assmann (Keith 2011a;2015a). In this sense, although 'the Jesus tradition' can be more restrictively understood as gospel literature (canonical and non-canonical), it can also be broadly understood as any cultural reception of Jesus (see Keith, Bond, Jacobi and Schröter forthcoming).…”
