Communications

Communicating for Life: Christian Stewardship in Community and Media Quetin Schultze (Baker) The definitive book for communication majors, those interested in mass media or public relations. Very, very good.

Seeing Through the Media: A Religious View of Communications and Cultural Analysis Michael Warren (Trinity Press International) A profound and serious critique of contemporary culture and how to evaluate mass media.

Prodigal Press: The Anti-Christian Bias of the American News Media Marvin Olasky (Crossway) A hard-hitting book which exposes the problem of bias, linking it to a materialist, humanist worldview which pervades journalism.

How the News Makes Us Dumb C.J. Sommerville (IVP) Without much overt religious language, this wise Christian journalist makes the case for less news, not more.

Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel Jean Kilbourne (Touchstone) Although not from an intentional Christian perspective, this expose of sexism in advertising is both pioneering and crucial.
