    Anthony Ekpo's 2024 Book The Roman Curia, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
    (This version was not previously published., 2024) Farrell, Thomas
    In 2022, the doctrinally conservative Pope Francis (born in 1936; elected pope in 2013) reformed the Vatican Curia when he promulgated the Apostolic Constitution Praedicate Evangelium ("Preach the Gospel"). The Nigerian theologian Monsignor Anthony Ekpo (born in 1981; Ph.D. in systematic theology, Australian Catholic University, 2013; doctorate in canon law, Gregorian University, 2021) explains Pope Francis' reform of the Vatican Curia in his accessible new 2024 book The Roman Curia: History, Theology, and Organization (Georgetown University Press). In my 5,800-word review essay "Anthony Ekpo's 2024 Book The Roman curia, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I succinctly highlight, on the one hand, Ekpo's new 2024 book and, on the other hand, the work of the American Jesuit Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). I also provide ample background information.
