«Christian faith really is about media in the 21st Century. And Hatcher seamlessly outlines the paradox—a ubiquity of media options available to explore and understand one’s Christian faith, laid alongside a growing lack of grasp on where the subcultures of Christian faith experience came from. Yes, Christianity began in North America via the printed word stuffed in saddlebags of circuit-riding preachers. From the printed page it became radio, TV, film, eventually digital messages and social media. But what is Christian faith? And why do media and audiences respond to it as they do? Hatcher walks us into the mystery, suggesting some answers but beckoning us to better questions.»
