 Cultural Analysis, Volume 1, 2000: Reviews
Before the end of the century, Lord's masterwork, Singer, was to stimulate activity in more than 150 separate language areas as well as across a wide spectrum of disciplines—anthropology, folklore, history, linguistics, literary studies, music, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies, to name only the most prominent ones.
Indeed, it is perhaps Lord's most important and durable legacy that this book has inspired pathbreaking studies in French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Irish, Welsh, Chinese, Japanese, and literally dozens more traditions, not to mention religious studies and a plethora of African and Indian languages.
Singer 2000 makes it ever more evident that Lord's book lies at the epicenter of the still-expanding field of studies in oral tradition.

 Amazon.com: Singer of Tales (Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature, 24): Books: <b>Albertb> Bates Lord
<b>Albertb> B. Lord's "Singer of Tales" was published in 1960, as Number 24 of the "Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature," and was picked up in paperback by Atheneum only a few years later (1965).
The heart of the book, however, was the work of Lord's teacher, Milman Parry, who had died in 1935 leaving a seven-page draft of his projected synthesis.
It reprints Lord's text without change (and rather more clearly than some copies I have seen!), so identifying references in early discussions of the book will not be a problem.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.4.18
<b>Albertb> Lord's model of composition-in-performance applies not only to epic but also to lyric traditions (1996.22-68).
No theory about Homeric dictation can be called a "keystone in the Parry-Lord model." Even the most plausible of the dictation theories, the original formulation of <b>Albertb> Lord himself, is not a "keystone" of his model of oral traditional composition.
This fundamental thesis is evident throughout <b>Albertb> Lord's last book, The Singer Resumes the Tale (1995, especially chapters 1, 8 and 10).

Without the Lord's life-saving sacrifice, sinful man would remain in a lost and hopeless condition, heading inevitably to an eternal separation from God Himself.
____________________________________________________ April 1, 1990 ____________________________________________________ The Lord's Supper by Tom Edwards It's really ironic: members in the church of Christ are often accused of not believing in the blood of Jesus, while those who make this accusation might observe the Lord's supper only one to four times a year.
This lesson has been designed to show that the Christian should take of the Lord's supper every first day of the week in order to remember the death of Jesus and be pleasing to God.
