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 radiopopular musicworship music and mediatelevisionfilmperiodicalsbooksInternetchurch dramacomicsgamingtheme parksadvertisingpublic relationsmerchandising These shifting media, and the communications enterprise as a whole, are put in cultural and ethical perspective.
