The meeting of context, also in theological discourse, inevitably results in the development of some form of dialogue. Theological discourse is characterized by a series of variables, related to different aspects of such a dialogue. The article explores one subset of variables, namely the style or mode of theological discourse and discusses their relationship with other aspect of such a dialogue. A proposal is made for an interactive, constructive mode of theological discourse in the public arena.
