Chapter one, "E-vangelism: Fishing the Net," is online. Other chapters include "Getting Started," "The Wide, Wide World of the World Wide Web," "Chatting for Christians" and "Piercing the Darkness." "A lot of churches, parachurch ministries and devout believers see cyberspace as a new mission field," Careaga says. "They're using the Internet as a tool to get their message out, and it seems to be working." "E-vangelism" focuses on how churches, parachurch organizations and individuals are using the Internet to communicate their theology to the online world. Order this inspirational book online.

BattleCry offers its members literature, rock concerts, and a full social networking website, not to mention mission trips and its own clothing line. Owing to this emphasis on varied multimedia experiences of Christianity, BattleCry sheds light on multiple aspects of modern-day evangelical life. BattleCry and its mini-empire encompass many of the new frontiers of evangelism – through the use of the Internet and Christian rock and pop music, BattleCry is extremely accessible to and effective with today’s Christian youth. Theirs is not simply a particularly successful marketing strategy, however; because of its depth as an organization, BattleCry serves as a microcosm of current evangelical culture, reflecting the priorities, strategies, and rhetoric of many of their compatriots.

KW - Christianity KW - digital storytelling KW - evangelism KW - social media AB - This article explores the use of online video as a medium for spiritual autobiography through a case study of the Christian movement I am Second (IaS). IaS has published 74 short films, focused primarily on evangelical Christian celebrities. In each case, the video subject overcomes struggles or achieves fulfilment only by surrendering their lives to God and becoming ‘Second’. These stories are shared through fan blogs, Facebook, YouTube, and offline study groups. Analysis of the design, circulation, and response to these films indicates that digital media are fostering significant shifts in the production and reception of religious storytelling.

Theological education has adapted slowly. We chronicle the transformation of a teaching and learning center at a denominational seminary from static resource-lending enterprise into a dynamic learning lab for digital engagement. Convening communities of digital media practice in an action research setting, the center equips religious educators to be substantial contributors to online conversations about faith. Using situated learning theory, we discuss our research with faith formation practitioners and seminarians.

T2 - Rapporto sull’Analfabetismo Religioso in Italia Y1 - 2014 A1 - Vitullo, A KW - evangelism KW - internet KW - religion AB - Il rapporto sull'analfabetismo religioso in Italia intende porre domande, tracciare percorsi e contestualizzare il tema dell'assenza del religioso nei processi educativi su scala internazionale. Il volume offre una riflessione organica su ciò che viene ignorato dal sistema scolastico e sui perché storico-teologici, oltreché storico-politici, di queste omissioni e lacune. A un'ampia analisi delle premesse teorico-critiche e dello scenario storico italiano da cui il fenomeno trae la propria natura si affiancano rassegne di studi, analisi delle esperienze riuscite e fallite e alcuni primi strumenti di cura che ambiscono a generare un dibattito pubblico sul tema e a costruire una riflessione capace di coinvolgere tutti gli attori sociali impegnati nel settore educativo e della formazione. Correda il volume una sezione info-grafica e di mappe che rende la lettura più intuitiva, trasferendo su immagini e simboli la complessità delle informazioni e dei dati raccolti.
