Abstract:

The article reflects on the work of American Jesuit priest Walter J. Ong in his book "Orality and Literacy." It compares Ong's use of orality to a polemical work by English Catholic priest John Sergeant in his book "Sure-Footing in Christianity, or, Rational Discourses on the Rule of Faith." It further presents key aspects of Ong's thinking about orality and literacy.
