Okay, I read part of the first chapter of Ken Myers' book on Amazon. The thesis seems similar to Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, the idea that the content/message is modified by the medium. But I can't tell from his witty chapter titles where he's going to go from there. Would this book be instructive for someone who might be writing for a Christian youth magazine, and other related "genres"? I'm hoping it has more than just a critique but also a positive way to live in the world. For those who've read Myers' book, does he do this?

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
