Description
Like friendship, listening is remarkably neglected by scholars. Even more surprising, it receives scant attention within the church: we who are called to "listen" to God and God's beloved. In our day of shallow, broad connection, much of it in the forms of texting and posting, there's growing evidence from a variety of fields that the deep, attentional art of listening is health-inducing and life-enhancing, countering some of the pathogenic elements in our environment. Moreover, listening just might be essential to sanctification. Susan Phillips reflects on listening's significance in our lives of citizenship, discipleship, and fellowship.
