What is Reddit's opinion of Jesus' Literacy: Scribal Culture and the Teacher from Galilee (The Library of New Testament Studies)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> Jesus was an illiterate Jewish laborer

This is scholarly consensus is Jesus was functionally illiterate. Here.

Jesus is described as a Tektōn in the gospels.

> The Ancient Greek noun tektōn (τέκτων) is a common term for an artisan/craftsman, in particular a carpenter, woodworker, or builder.

> In modern scholarship, the word has sometimes been re-interpreted from the traditional meaning of carpenter and has sometimes been translated as craftsman, as the meaning of builder is implied, but can be applied to both wood-work and stone masonry.

Anything else?

> literal renarration of myths

Generally, I'm happy to change anything you think I've misrepresented, provide you have sufficient evidence.

I was more than charitable in representing the core Christian beliefs about Jesus.

It is unlikely that Jesus was literate.

The best book on this topic is Chris Keith's Jesus' Literacy or his more accessible Jesus Against the Scribal Elite. There was a very interesting panel at SBL last year that reviewed both Keith's and Alan Kirk's book Q in Matthew.

Bart Ehrman has written positively about Keith's work on his blog and I believe he discusses literacy in his book Jesus Before the Gospels.
