Series Statement:
Challenges in contemporary theology
Content:
This ground-breaking book provides a new perspective on Christian practices of silence. Rachel Muers, a significant Quaker theologian, develops a theological understanding of communication to which a "responsible silence" is central. In doing so, she engages with the key issues raised for Christian theology by feminist thought, and develops an original reading of significant aspects of the theology and ethics of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. She also presents a challenge, from the perspective of Christian theology and practice, to a communicative environment dominated by wars of words. The central theological claim explored in the book is that God listens, and that God's listening is integral to who God is.
Note:
Introduction: Beginning with silence -- Assessing silence -- Who hears? -- Resurrection silence -- Hearing the Word? -- Wisdom and folly : seeking places to stand -- Hearing with God's ears : interpreting practices of silence -- Privacy, omniscience, and the silence of God -- Openings.
