Biblical Horizons of Communication

Summary/Abstract: Although the binomial »Bible and communication« is very complex, in this paper, we will present some of, in our opinion, the most significant biblical horizons of communication. Word makes the first horizon. Like the human word, God’s word is also information, invitation, revelation and fellowship. God also communicates with signs. The world created by the power of God’s creative word is one of the privileged places of dialogue between man and God. A special communication mediator is also a prophet – a man of words. In this communication horizon, the word also played a leading role, as did various prophetic signs, among which the prophet’s life has a special place. In Scripture, God, paradoxically, also speaks through silence. Sometimes, it is a consequence of man's sins; sometimes, it is God's powerful pedagogical tool; and in Jesus' death on the cross, according to Mk 15, 33-39, it is a revelation of love that transforms the cry of pain, not into the painful exhalation of the dying, but into the sigh of life of the woman giving birth.
