What makes genuine dialogue possible? When you find yourself talking to someone who just doesn’t seem to hear what you’re trying to say, it helps to understand a few of the conditions and capacities that make communication happen. So that's what we're looking at in this podcast, with an eye on what theology might say on this subject. My main sources in this podcast are some of thePatristic writers: Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus (which I mispronounce), Eusebius of Caeserea, Theophilus of Antioch, Cyril of Jerusalem, and the Didache. I also refer to GK Chesterton’s Orthodoxy, Kenneth Burke’s Rhetoric of Motives, Shane Hipps's Flickering Pixels, Slavoj Zizek's Violence, and the New Testament writer, St. Paul.
