The 'Communication Theology' of Avery Dulles

This volume by missiologist and communications expert John Paul Herman, SVD, demonstrates convincingly that Avery Dulles’s thought was rooted in the conviction that God in God’s deepest self is a community of communication, and that God’s nature is mirrored in the reality of the Church as a community of communication on a journey. Readers of this book will come to appreciate Dulles’s genius as a theologian, but they will also come to a deeper knowledge of Communication Theology itself.

This study offers a fresh and illuminating critical perspective on Dulles' theology of communication. The book also engages with other scholars who have developed these insights. And the final chapter that connects Dulles’s vision with the Church’s current synodal journey through the lens of communication is particularly timely.
