Augustine's i*ilosophy and theology of the word made him a proponent of a linguiltic epistemology: all knowledge is knowledge of the word and words are signs of reality. Anselm shifted the grounds of the discussion of the word-Wird metaphor from rhetoric to grammar. He worked from within language and built. up his argument from a series of grammatical and logical equivalences, making the issue t:ge definition of the Word. Peter Lombard's treatment of the word-Word metaphor dealt with predication about the Trinity and the application of the "Categories" of Aristotle to the Trinity. Thomas Aquinas changes the notion and scope of the inner word and its metaphorical relation to the divine Word by substituting Aristotelian epistemology for Augustinian. Aquinas also blends poetry and theology in his treatment of the Word, so that what he attempts to explain theologically he evokes poetically. The word-Word metaphor reveals a view of communication common to the Middle Ages: communication always reveals the inner, making it concrete. (SRT)

Through an evaluation based on six categories of service-learning objectives (intellectual-, skills, and affective development, moral and spiritual growth, community outcomes and college or university outcomes), a secondary analysis of data collected by Santa Clara University's Eastside Project was undertaken. The analysis included narrative and survey evaluations from 1990-1993 and 1995 1999 from students participating in service-learning placements in conjunction with communication courses. Results indicated that: (1) students make connections to their learning, but at different levels; (2). emotional growth from service-learning includes self-esteem, a sense of being appreciated, and satisfaction; (3) empathy for those served and better ability to relate to others arise from the service-learning experience; (4) a changed outlook on others, on education, and on life may result from the experience; (5) suggestions for improvement and spots of program failure can be noted in student responses; (6) the value of the service-learning experience and its influence on students' future behavior is noticeable; (7) the connection with student academics is present though less prevalent than other assessment variables; and (8) more successful results come in applied courses such as journalism, reporting, and documentary video than in introductory courses. Findings suggest that: faculty implementation of the service-learning model needs improvement; faculty should explore ways to measure whether a service-learning placement helps in skills and in affective development; data collecting methods have been inconsistent and often incomparable; students often feel over-evaluated; and the service-learning program does have a good proportion of successes. Contains 3 tables of data. Appendixes include a sample student evaluation form, placement-based assessment form, and sample program evaluation forms.

Titles in- between include: Humanism (1964), Rhetoric and the origins of consciousness, (1971), and Yeast: a parable for Catholic higher education (1990). In the substantial foreword, Farrell (U. of Minnesota at Duluth) finds parallels between Ong\u27s thought and Harold Bloom\u27s ideas about the inwardness of some Shakespearean characters. The French government knighted Ong for his dissertation on 16th-century logician/educational reformer Ramus. Distributed by University Press of America.

M.'s explanation and his nu merous mathematical examples (in the fashion of Nicholas of Cusa) go far toward making a case for the legitimacy of this distinction, but they do not show the ontological dependence that this theory still needs and that a properly developed notion of causal participation could supply. My suspicion is that M.'s commitment to the argument for God as Creator in the earlier book will allow this suggestion to be offered as a friendly amendment appropriate for further work in the next volume.
