Abstract
The communication problem is placed in biblical perspective by analyzing the effects of the fall of man on his communication with God and with his fellow man. The solution is placed in a similar perspective; viewing the process of sanctification as a developing relationship wherein God communicates with the Christian through the Word and the Christian communicates with God through prayer. Some of the man-to-man implications of this God-to-man communication pattern are germinally explored.
