description: In the present book Thomas Farrell provides the first comprehensive view of Walter Ong's thought, but he also shows the improtance of Walter J. Ong in the contemporary intellectual landscape. Whereas most scholars are quite content to make a significant intellectual contribution in one field, Walter Ong has made such a contribution in some five or more literary studies, communication, theology and religious studies, psychology, intellectual history, and linguistics. The objective of this book is not so much to summarize and synthesize but rather to provide some interpretative guides that will bring the reader into Ong's own lively discussion of contemporary intellectual issues.
