The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture by Shane Hipps

The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture: How Media Shapes Faith, the Gospel, and Church The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture: How Media Shapes Faith, the Gospel, and Church by Shane Hipps


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In some ways, this book was almost more of a "how the emerging church is trying new ways to communicate in this postmodern culture". It was interesting though, particularly in how different media have shaped our culture throughout the years. Even the invention of printing and telegraph were revolutionary in changing how we perceive things. Printing caused us to become more linear in our thinking, while images (TV) use our right brain and make us view things in a more holistic way.
