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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Rachel Muers</note> <subject> <topic>Spiritual life -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Theological ethics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R119-M94</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781405119009, 1405119004</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11504/1.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11504/1.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071025.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
