God Talk: The Problem of Divine-Human Communication is a landmark
publication, the first book to address the problem from the
perspective of communication studies. In ten thought-provoking
essays, communication scholars confront the "God Problem" by
describing diverse approaches they have used in field research to
study groups that claim to hear God while also balancing respect
for informants' claims with their own personal beliefs. *** The
intelligence of this exceptional book is a perfect ten. The
theoretical depth of every chapter reflects research brilliance.
The authors' clarity with ideas, ancient and contemporary, is
knowledge production at its substantive best. -Clifford G.
Christians, Research Professor of Communications Emeritus,
University of Illinois Whether your interests include communication
theory, rhetorical criticism, ethnography, or theology, regardless
of your faith tradition-or absence of a faith tradition-it is a
stimulating read. I highly recommend it. -Steven A. Beebe, Regents'
and University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Texas State
University; Past President, National Communication Association As a
religious communication scholar who also identifies as a
theist-scholar, I found every chapter empowering, as they encourage
the field to reconsider its positionality towards an area of
scholarship that attempts to "measure the immeasurable." This book
is a must! -Tina M. Harris, Professor, Endowed Chair of Race,
Media, and Cultural Literacy, Louisiana State University God Talk:
The Problem of Divine-Human Communication is a timely contribution
to religious communication and communication studies. The authors
examine the absence of God in communication theory and in
engagement with others. I highly recommend this relevant work.
-Ronald C. Arnett, Professor Emeritus, Duquesne University A
much-needed contribution to the growing body of research at the
intersection of communication and religion, this scholarly volume
gathers work from established and emerging scholars to address a
long-standing issue in the field of religious communication: the
conundrum of divine-human communication. -Janie M. H. Fritz,
Duquesne University; Executive Director, Religious Communication
Association
