Communication,Or “Tell It Slant”

Abstract

““Telling it slant” is more than an appropriate form of the gospel; it is its essential content, a manner incumbent upon the Christian communicator by the very nature of the gospel. The gospel is not only what is said, but how it is said. … ‘Indirection’ is the essence of‘witnessing’ for Christ. Witnessing for Christ ought to be the most self-effacing thing one can do, but how often it has looked and sounded exhibitionist.”
