A book for every person who's ever flipped past the religious
channel on cable and thought, "I haven't the faintest clue what's
going on there," or "that church doesn't seem like my church at
all," or even, "wow, so that's what happened to Kirk Cameron." With
the personalities of Christian broadcasting constantly in the news
talking about every major issue from abortion to culture to war and
with the amount of influence their movements have on the the
political discourse in this country, to under stand more about the
stop on the television dail is to understand more about American
and America's religious landscape. On an average day, the largest
religious broadcast channel in the country reaches millions of
viewers and features programming from figures such as Benny Hinn,
T.D. Jakes, Pat Robertson, Paul and Jan Crouch, Jess Duplantis,
Joel Osteen, and others, yet despite it's presence in well over 50
million household many have little conception of what kind of faith
happens there. Nadia Bolz-Weber, a Lutheran seminarian and former
stand-up comic who's never before watched religious broadcasting,
spends 24 hours in front of the TV immersing herself in the
messages and culture to be found on the part of the dial. Bolstered
by visits from guest such as rabbi, her 8-year-old daughter,
Unitarian friend, and others, Salvation on the Small Screen? is
Bolz-Weber's chronicle, augmented by after-the-fact research, of a
huge, but unknown or mysterious to many, branch of religious
culture."
