- "Much of the literature on Christian communication deals with it without reference to the fast-changing world of communication as such. The argument of this book is that `skills without understanding and technique without theology' are of little value. That argument, however, is made on the assumption that `Christians have no immunity from the difficulties involved in any and every communication process .. So we need the best information and analysis available on how communication happens, recognizing that the mystery of dialogue with God in Christ will often as not elude our knowledge and skill as communicators. But that's not a reason for being less than expert. It only serves to make our expertise a little less arrogant". The book grew out of communication studies courses designed for students of theology, and covers a wide range of themes -- from what communication is and how it works through semiotics and rhetoric to homiletics and theology". -- back cover.
