Understanding Evangelical Media: The Changing Face of Christian Communication

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." --from Hebrews 13:8 "Change happens." --from a bumper sticker As long as there has been a church, there has been Christian communication--"people of the book" bearing "the good news" from one place to another, persuading, teaching and even delighting an ever-broadening audience with the message of the gospel. Amid ongoing advances in technology and an ever-more-multicultural context, however, the time has come for a broad appraisal of the state of evangelical communications. Quentin Schultze and Robert H. Woods Jr. have assembled scholars from across the country to analyze and assess a wide range of media including: radio, popular music, worship music and media, television, film, periodicals, books, Internet, church drama, comics, gaming, theme parks, advertising, public relations, merchandising These shifting media, and the communications enterprise as a whole, are put in cultural and ethical perspective. Also addressed are Catholic and Jewish perspectives on the state of religious media.
