Abstract
In my 9,000-word review essay "John Dominic Crossan on the Historical Jesus's 93 Original Sayings, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the historical Jesus specialist John Dominic Crossan's 1994 book The Essential Jesus: Original Sayings and Earliest Images (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco/ HarperCollins). In addition I highlight the relevant work of the American Jesuit media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955), including his posthumously published uncompleted book Language as Hermeneutic: A Primer on the Word and Digitization (Cornell University Press, 2017). In the lengthy final subsection of my review essay (pp. 9-19), I juxtapose certain sayings of the historical Jesus, as identified by Crossan, with Amy-Jill Levine's literal translations of the synoptic gospel parables of Jesus in her 2014 book Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi (New York: HarperOne/ HarperCollins).
