Full Description
We are responsible for how we communicate, for what we communicate, and for how our communication affects others. In this discerning introduction to communication theory, Quentin Schultze guides readers through an interesting, creative, and spiritual study of communication. Rooted in a Christian worldview, Communicating for Life explores the implications of individual human communication and the influence of communication on community. Several aspects of the discipline of communication are examined, including the flawed nature of human communication, contrasting views of communication, and the role of media in contemporary society. Communicating for Life is the first book to be released under the imprint RenewedMinds, a new publishing partnership between The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and Baker Academic that will cover a variety of disciplines.
