Summary
More Than a simple exchange of words, conversations in the biblical narratives offer an array of clues that define the characters and their relationships, the setting of the conversations, and the language the characters employ. Using current critical communication theories from a number of fields - anthropology, sociology, psychology, and literary studies - Victor Matthews analyzes such conversations as the interchange between Judah and Tamar, Moses and Jethro's back-and-forth, Ezra's public address, and the dialogues recorded in Daniel.
