Religion has gone public; and the much-discussed political pendulum
has been swinging widely in its effort to keep up with the
eruptions of faith swelling the broadband. Private faith finds very
public outlets through the media's appetite for voices and choices.
Faith-based networks have become media-savvy, urging their members
to send barrages of emails, faxes, telephone calls, letters of
praise or outrage to politicians. Those same politicians return the
volley, using the broadcast media with great skill, wooing the
faithful, convincing the cynical that God is on their side. Only a
deity could be on so many sides simultaneously. Alice Bach's new
book reflects her long-time focus on the Bible, religion and
culture. Popular religion is expressed within our culture in rock
videos, televangelism, political rhetoric, children's books, films
and animations. Every sort of media from print to electronic to
broadband is imbued with subtle and blatant religious imagery. The
media are new; the message is not. The tightly woven pattern of
religion, politics and media has been part of the American fabric
since the country was founded. When one examines this cultural
cloth, threads of varying colours are revealed, threads whose
twists reflect both media coverage of religion and religious views
of the media.
