The subject of competition between religion and television has,
if only indirectly, received considerable attention, particularly
from religionists disturbed by the threat posed by television
programming to traditional religious beliefs, values, and
attitudes. This detailed study considers the competing cultural
forces of television and religion from a wider and more theoretical
perspective. Newman examines the major forms of competition and the
various motives and strategies of the people and groups involved.
His philosophical approach allows us to see that the most important
aspect of competition between television and religion is their
rivalry as cultural forces. In this rivalry, religion continues to
have a profound influence on the shaping of television, just as it
has always had on all newly developing forms of culture.
