A Theology for a Mediated God introduces a new way to examine the shaping effects of media on our notions of God and divinity. In contrast to more conventional social-scientific methodologies and conversations about the relationship between religion and media, Dennis Ford argues that the characteristics we ascribe to a medium can be extended and applied metaphorically to the characteristics we ascribe to God-just as earlier generations attempted to comprehend God through the metaphors of father, shepherd, or mother. As a result, his work both challenges and bridges the gap between students of religion and media, and theology.

A primary objective for life science executives is raising capital. Very often, however, a lack of marketing and sales skills impedes their efforts. Focusing regionally, rather than globally, only compounds the challenge.

It discusses how to use a consistent message to achieve compelling results from a fundraising campaign, and it teaches you how to aggregate a list of potential global investors that are a fit for your company's products and services.
