Authentic Communication by Tim Muehlhoff & Todd Lewis

Part of the Christian Worldview Integration series, Authentic Communication attempts to teach students of communication how to engage culture from a Christian worldview. (hence the series name)

Inside, you will find 2 parts: Understanding the Components of Communication and Applying Communication.

In the first part, you will learn about the power of human communication, how to engage the views of others, and the power of persuasion.

In part 2, you will learn about how communication deals with conflict, forgiveness and popular culture.

The major chapters deal with postmodern times. The authors detail how Christians can be counterpublics, without deepening the angry divide.

They finish up with a chapter on social justice.

All-in-all this book is meant for those in education. I think it's supposed to be required reading for those students of communication and not an average joe-reader.
