Abstract
In my 10,775-word review essay "M. David Litwa's 2019 Book About the Gospels and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I provide a detailed overview of the contents of Litwa's book How the Gospels Became History: Jesus and Mediterranean Myths (Yale University Press, 2019). I also discuss Pope Francis' claim that the gospel message is trans-cultural (in his 2013 apostolic exhortation, paragraph 117). However, because Litwa claims to be examining discursive practices in the ancient Mediterranean world, I also discuss certain other relevant scholarly studies of discursive practices in the ancient world that Litwa does not happen to advert to explicitly -- by Walter J. Ong, Albert B. Lord, Eric A. Havelock, Marcel Jousse, Werner H. Kelber, and others.
