Table of ContentsForeword Clifford G. Christians Introduction Stephanie Bennett Chapter 1: Why Silence? Chapter 2: Contemplative Silence Chapter 3: Attentive Silence Chapter 4: Ontological Silence Chapter 5: Phantom Silence Chapter 6: Relational Silence Chapter 7: Ethical Silence Chapter 8: Unhealthy SilenceReviews"""In this thoughtful and accessible work, Stephanie Bennett reveals many different dimensions and dynamics of silence. She beautifully takes readers on a wide-ranging tour of the different ways that silence plays a pivotal role in human affairs. Silence, Civility and Sanity robustly shows how silence is an ontological ground and dialectical counterpart to speech. This book is a powerful resource for dialogue and for civil discourse. It opens needed pathways toward a saner, healthier society."" --Corey Anton, Grand Valley State University ""Sorry but I just can't be quiet about this: Stephanie Bennett's new book Silence, Civility, & Sanity: Hope for Humanity in a Digital Age, requires me to speak up and give it a big rave review. Who would have thought you could write over two hundred pages about silence, its deep and varied theological, psychological, relational, cultural, and even political importance. This is a rich and insightful tome, urgent reading for us as we navigate the cacophony of our times. Get a copy, get in your comfortable chair, and read it quietly."" --David Gill, former professor of workplace theology and ethics at Gordon-Conwell Seminary ""Stephanie Bennett's wonderful book both explains why silence is so important today and directs us to the kinds of silence-based practices that rejuvenate our individual lives and relationships. I recommend it wholeheartedly as a balm for today's anxiety and incivility."" --Quentin Schultze, author of Communicate Like a True Leader and Servant Teaching" “In this thoughtful and accessible work, Stephanie Bennett reveals many different dimensions and dynamics of silence.
