Basisteoretiese perspektiewe op kommunikasie in die bediening

Abstract

The issue dealt with in this article is the extracting of certain basic- theoretical perspectives from Scripture, especially from the New Testament, to serve as guidelines for communication in the ministry. The following features are investigated: the source of the communication, the action and content of communication, the manifestations of communication, the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping man to communicate. Furthermore the requirements set by Scripture for the communicator, the modus (way) of communication and the authority in communication are also discussed. In conclusion certain basic-theoretical theses for communication in the ministry are postulated.
