New Faith Integration Communication Blog

New Faith Integration Communication Blog, “Analogies: Cultivating a ‘thick’ strategy for integrating faith and learning”

The Christianity and Communication Studies Network (www.theccsn.com) announces the launch of its faith integration blog in communication studies. You may visit the blog here: http://www.theccsn.com/category/blog/

Our first guest blogger is Dr. Naaman Wood, Redeemer University College. His first entry, “Analogies: Cultivating a ‘thick’ strategy for integrating faith and learning,” is available here: http://www.theccsn.com/analogies-cultivating-a-thick-strategy-for-thinking-christianly-about-communication-part-1/

Description: For many of us, integrating our faith with communication studies means thinking in terms of the content of this theological idea or passage with that communication concept or insight. However, there are times when focusing on content can produce “thin” moments of integration. Drawing on scripture, systematic theology, icons, and pop culture, this series of blog posts explore analogy as a “thick” strategy for integrating religious faith with communication studies and offer practical examples that benefit student learning.
