What is the stage theory of the Bible?
The general concept is that the Bible was written in steps, or stages. First, there would be the an "oral tradition" stage where stories are passed from one group to another and repeated in group settings, establishing a community memory of an event, belief, or person. Second, some person or group would take it upon themselves to collect and write down these sayings and stories. Finally, the written record would be edited and connected. (Stages two and three can be combined, of course).
