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

H. Fritz, Duquesne University; Executive Director, Religious Communication Association

Rezensionen
"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. Alasdair MacIntyre, the premier ethicist of our time, warned of the epidemic of emotivism: decision-making by personal preference, no longer tempered or guided by an external standard. This volume takes on MacIntyre's warning and asks: What happens when the external standard of God fades from relevance, leaving us with the emotive demands of individual communicators? I highly recommend this relevant work." -Ronald C. Arnett, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Duquesne University; Author of Communication Ethics and Tenacious Hope: Contemporary Implications of the Scottish Enlightenment
