Abstract

When one speaks of communications,1 it is important to highlight that most people like the media and the press button technologies, but when it comes to the very core of communication, not many seem to understand its depth. I believe that, although communication is at the very basis of human society, if it has nothing to do with theology, the church may not take to it seriously. Hence the study of the relationship between theology and communication seemed a must.
