Abstract

M. David Litwa (Ph.D. in religious studies, University of Virginia, 2012) of the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne has massively researched the ancient imagery and verbal expression involving deification in four scholarly books (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016). In the present review essay, I discuss his 2014 book Iesus Deus: The Early Christian Depiction of Jesus as a Mediterranean God (Minneapolis: Fortress Press). As part of my ongoing series of online essays about the thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955), I draw on certain points in Ong's thought to establish a broader conceptual framework for discussing Litwa's 2014 book.
