Dialogical refers to a mode of communication or writing where meaning develops through the interaction of different perspectives. Instead of presenting one settled position, dialogical material allows multiple voices to question, respond to, and challenge one another. This structure can preserve disagreement, ambiguity, or open-endedness, and in literary and religious texts, dialogical approaches reflect how communities think through ideas collectively rather than through fixed declaration. The term emphasizes process, relationship, and exchange, showing how understanding arises through ongoing conversation rather than resolution.
