Beschreibung
Christians seeking to evangelize face innumerable challenges. Many people see the "e;Good News"e; as neither good nor newsworthy. Religious indifference runs rampant. Trust in institutions is low. Previous methods of transmitting faith no longer have the same impact in a changed cultural landscape. Young adults are particularly hard for the Church to reach. Many efforts at evangelization will remain ineffective at reaching most religious "e;nones"e; without significant preparation, or "e;pre-evangelization."e; This process involves patiently tilling the soil to build the necessary trust, curiosity, and openness so that the Gospel message may take root. New media play a crucial role in this work of pre-evangelization. While recognizing the concerning aspects of the digital landscape and the need for embodied community, this book takes a positive approach to leveraging media for evangelization to prepare the way of the Lord today.
