The Church and New Media

Product Description

"The Bible doesn't mention God using emails, blog posts, podcasts, or e-books - and when the prophet Habakkuk (2:2)quotes God saying, "Write the vision; make it plain upon tablets", he wasn't promoting iPads, either! Even though these technologies don't show up in Scripture, history has shown that God showers down new mediums at specific times to spread his Word in new ways."

Engaging the digital Revolution

We're experiencing the biggest communication shift since the printing press. Millions have adopted Facebook, YouTube, blogs, and Twitter. What does this mean for the Church? How can Christians harness these new tools to reach out, teach, cultivate community, and change the world?

Following Pope Benedict's call to evangelize the "digital continent," The Church and New Media explores the power and risks of New Media while guiding Christians through this new environment.
