Rezensionen

"This book is a passionate, informed and insightful inquiryinto the significance of silence in Christian thinking about Godand its bearing upon a theological ethics of communication."Reviews in Religion and Theology

"What starts off, quite modestly, as an exploration ofwhat theologians and others have said about silence, develops intoa serious challenge to the way theology itself is done, and indeed,to the way other researches are done, and conversation held ...it is work that will yield rich insights."
