Also the pope's Verbum Domini seems important maybe.

Hi Joel, Depending on your definition of sociolinguistics but if it includes anthropolical linguistics there must be. e.g. William Smalley http://www.nmnh.si.edu/naa/fa/smalley.pdf

and more recently Paul Hiebert's "gospel in human contexts"

How did I miss this??

In the end I think I'm looking for a Christian(influenced) theory of language that is primarily based in social interaction. But this is great. thank you!
