Ethics of the word
Book Description
In the aftermath of profound challenges facing the Catholic Church, Jesuit priest and scholar James F. Keenan presents a thoughtful exploration of how sacred communication can rebuild fractured relationships and restore authentic dialogue within religious communities.
Drawing from Scripture, theological wisdom, and real-world experiences, Keenan examines the transformative potential that lies within both speaking truthfully and listening deeply. His approach weaves together narrative storytelling with spiritual insight, creating a framework for understanding how words can either wound or heal, divide or unite.
The book addresses practical yet profound questions about navigating difficult conversations, offering genuine apologies, and expressing the fundamental Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love through our daily interactions. Keenan's accessible writing style makes complex theological concepts relevant for anyone seeking to improve their communication within spiritual contexts.
Rather than offering simple solutions, this work invites readers to consider how intentional, ethical communication can serve as a pathway toward rebuilding trust across all levels of church hierarchy and community life. The author's perspective as both a priest and theologian provides unique insight into the challenges and opportunities that arise when religious communities commit to honest, compassionate dialogue.
For those interested in Christian ethics, spiritual leadership, or the intersection of faith and communication, this book offers valuable guidance for fostering more authentic relationships within religious settings.
