Marshall McLuhan coined the famous phrase, “The Media IS the Message,” not because the message is not important but because the nature of the media is so profoundly influential on how the message is received.Slide29
Tele-Communication
Problems with television as a tool for Christianity:
It focuses on marketable itemsIt configures to half-hour or hour prepackaged, scripted presentations more governed by time than eventIt offers instant blessingsIt appeals to fundraising
It shows dramatic moments
It ignores discipleship
It ignores ethics
It ignores unpopular positions
It is personality-oriented
It is showmanship
