ABSTRACT
This chapter considers how to motivate people so that they want to learn about religion, once their Sense of God has been aroused and intensified in Stage IV of the Theory of Religious Communication. It introduces the 'Myers-Briggs typology', its four polarities along which persons are divided and the four Character or Temperament types which emerge. The chapter concentrates on the positive qualities of each type and ignores the negative qualities that can give rise to personal deficiencies. It is as impossible as it is unnecessary for the religious Communicator to take account of the full range of such fine discriminations. The chapter suggests an approach to motivation based first on the four functions and four attitudes. In every case the Communicatee is brought into an external association with theistic religion, by whatever appeals to their type and character, prior to the later Stages of being informed, believing or committed.
