One of the most noticeable features of medieval literature is the prevalence of religious subjects. For much

Oral Tradition vs. Written Tradition The Bible is one of the world’s greatest books. To believers and nonbelievers alike‚ this book has caused a massive stir in societies. Many do not know how this book came to be. For the most part‚ we are familiar with the stories of the bible and their moral lessons because we’ve been told them.
