Dr. Farrell was primarily responsible for selecting the essays by Walter J. Ong that are reprinted in An Ong Reader and in the four volumes of Faith and Contexts. In addition, Dr. Farrell was responsible for standardizing the punctuation and grammar conventions in the reprinted essays. In the two collections by diverse hands, Media, Consciousness, and Culture and Communication and Lonergan, he wrote commentaries for revision on each essay in each collection and combined his comments with those of the other editor(s) and corresponded with the authors concerning revisions of their essays. For all seven of these different collections, he also assisted Paul A. Soukup in identifying items to be included in the indexes.
