Koinonia

From Hate, through Dialogue, to Culture in the Larger Group
Herausgeber: de Mare, Patrick B.; Thompson, Sheila; Piper, Robin

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A study of the larger group, focusing on the processes and dynamics whereby the group micro-culture emerges. As the initial frustrations of the group find expression in hate, this is transformed through dialogue to what the Greeks knew as 'koinonia', or the state of impersonal fellowship.
