Media in Church and Mission:
Although written before much of the revolution in digital media, this book provides a lot of useful strategic input for those involved in media and Scripture Engagement.
Mass Media Spirituality. The Use of Media in the Church
Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: 94, , language: English, abstract: Communication has a great impact on the lives of the people because everyone has television and internet as the main means of entertainment. It is a great challenge for the Church today to use mass media to attract the people with the present tools of communication.
Mass Media Religion
Mass Media Religion considers and explores the implications of the evergrowing religious broadcasting media in terms of their social and political contexts. How does 'electronic church' broadcasting affect the way American culture deals with major problems of the day like racism, militarism, the drug crisis, the feminization of poverty and broader social change? The author reviews both the historical origins of fundamentalist and neo-evangelical responses to these crises of modernity and the historical development of the electronic church. He examines central institutions of the mass media religion -- such as the Christian Broadcasting Network -- in detail and includes a series of interviews...
Faith and Media
In the past, ideologies and religions had a real impact on the media. In the current era of mass media and communication strategies, perception takes priority over identity and new questions arise: how to introduce faith and religion in a pluralising and detraditionalising world? What possibilities are offered by the new media? How can technical innovations be incorporated in church communication? Following the conference Belief in the Media (April 2007), this publication focuses on the gap between the language of faith and the language of the general media. The different contributors analyse, from within - but also from outside - a church context, the historical changes and challenges the Catholic Church and other faiths and denominations face with regard to their social communication and media strategies. However it is not only the relationship of religious institutions with the media that is at stake, but also the way in which the media cover topics such as the Middle East, Muslim immigrant populations in Europe, and the World Youth Day. Journalists have to find new ways to get a grip on these issues too.
The Electronic Church in the Digital Age
This two-volume set investigates the evangelical presence in America as experienced through digital media, examining current evangelical ideologies regarding education, politics, family, and government. Evangelical broadcasting has greatly expanded its footprint in the digital age. This informative text acquaints readers with how the electronic church of today spreads its message through Internet podcasts, social networking, religious radio programs, and televised sermons; how mass media forms the institution's modern identity; and what the future of the industry holds as mobile church apps, Christian-based video games, and online worship become the norm. The work—split into two volumes—...

In the first part, contributors set the framework by describing recent theoretical developments in the sociology of religion and communication theory. Part II provides an overview of certain religious beliefs; Part III looks at audience behavior; Part IV describes specific case studies (including one on rap music); and Part V looks at the changing information environment and the future.
The Media and The Church
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Communications - Media Economics, Media Management, grade: 89,00, Helderberg College of Higher Education, language: English, abstract: Mass media has become a big part of the lives of individuals.There is no doubt that social media have gained wider acceptability and usability and are also becoming probably the most important communication tools among people. Churches have also invested time and money in broadcast media such as television and radio. The Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) was used for this study. The aim of this study is to see how the use of the media has impacted the church. To find out how the use of media has helped the S...
Communication Habits for the Pilgrim Church
Communication has become an important theme and heuristic concept in practical theology for Roman Catholics during the ecumenical age. Communication Habits for the Pilgrim Church explains why the moral order is given priority in Vatican teaching about communication and the reasons for Catholic social teaching to make moral judgments about these new realities. Attention is given in the book to the historical context of Vatican Councils I and II. The first chapter shows that behind the pilgrim Church lies an emerging vision of the threefold ecclesial offices of priest, prophet, and king. Chapter two examines the text and context of the Second Vatican Council's pastoral decree «Inter MirificaÂ...
Christianity and the Mass Media in America
The mass media and religious groups in America regularly argue about news bias, sex and violence on television, movie censorship, advertiser boycotts, broadcast and film content rating systems, government regulation of the media, the role of mass evangelism in a democracy, and many other issues. In the United States the major disputes between religion and the media usually have involved Christian churches or parachurch ministries, on the one hand, and the so-called secular media, on the other. Often the Christian Right locks horns with supposedly liberal Eastern media elite and Hollywood entertainment companies. When a major Protestant denomination calls for an economic boycott of Disney, th...
