Conceived and guided by Salesian Father Peter Gonsalves, the Communication Theology series presents theology as God’s self-communication in history and humanity’s response through faith, symbol, culture, and community. It rereads major Catholic thinkers through communication, culture, and media. It has so far produced two volumes published by Christian World Imprints, New Delhi: The Communication Theology of Karl Rahner by Charles Ndhlovu and Peter Gonsalves, and The Communication Theology of Avery Dulles by Divine Word Father John Paul Herman. Together, the books seek to provide theological foundations for evangelization, pastoral ministry, digital engagement, and ecclesial leadership in an increasingly interconnected world.
