The term "civility" has been used since the middle of the sixteenth century, and it originally referred to someone who has had a humanities education. The Bible, especially the New Testament, is full of spirited argument. However, debate in academic contexts has historically been characterised by a predisposition to be very nuanced, meticulous, cautious, formal, and educated in rhetorical ability. Jesus, for instance, used derogatory language against his foes. In a minute, we'll see more of this. But the scriptures also advise kindness and forbid speaking in an uncalled-for rage. In the end, it is important to strike a balance between the scriptural testimony to civility and an understanding of the cultural factors at play. Several texts that recommend altruistic causes:
- Don't speak anything unwholesome; just words that will uplift others and meet their needs, so that those listening will also benefit.
2- Everyone should listen intently, talk slowly, and express anger gradually.
