Ong's Thought," I highlight the self-described "Yankee Jewish feminist" biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine's 2014 book Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi (New York: Harper One/ Harper Collins). In addition, I highlight the relevant mature work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and 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, edited and with commentaries by Thomas D. Zlatic and Sara van den Berg (Cornell University Press, 2017).enJesus, Amy-Jill Levine, Walter J. Ong, Thomas J. Farrell, Thomas D. Zlatic, John Dominic CrossanScholarly Text or Essay
