Reviews
"This book answers the question, 'What does it mean to think like a Christian about human communication?' In striving to answer that question, the author touches on topics seldom treated in the communication literature: the role of grace in human relationships, the nature of wisdom, the power of forgiving, the knowledge of good and evil, the creative force of peacemaking, and the transforming reality of God's love. Although specifically written for undergraduates, this book should be read by everyone concerned with the interrelationships among communications, community, and communion. . . . The bookstores are full of treatises about communication written from Marxist, feminist, positivist, and cultural studies perspectives. Now there is a book written from an explicitly Christian perspective and one thing is clear: never again can religious beliefs and values be relegated to the intellectual sidelines. To study human communication is to be immersed in questions of the most profound religious significance."--Martin J. Medhurst, Texas A&M University "Easily the best presentation I know of a Christian perspective on communication and the media. It raises questions where most of us just take things for granted, and issues challenges where most of us just go along. . . . Though deeply informed in both the Christian tradition and contemporary discussions on the media, it nonetheless wears its learning with extraordinary grace and vividness of rhetoric."--Nicholas Wolterstorff, Yale Divinity School "This high-torque book engages your mind and invigorates your spirit. The theory of symbolic action is a splendid achievement. It catches hold of Augustine, Burke, Elliot and contemporary cultural studies, but is distinctive with Shalom. The problems and stories are stunning in themselves--from across history and around the globe. Quentin Schultze sets the standard for all work henceforth in the theology of communication."--Clifford Christians, Research Professor of Communications, University of Illinois "(Schultze) connects stewardship with how we speak and listen, how we interact in word and gesture, what we have to say and hear, whether one-on-one, in community, or in mass communication within our culture. . . . I hope his book will convert others to this approach to communicating and then inform them as they go about living up to their new resolves."--Martin Marty, University of Chicago (from the foreword)
