Competing Spectacles: Treasuring Christ in the Media Age

By: Tony Reinke

4.23

Format: 160 pages, Paperback

“Thirty years after Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death , this book takes the impact-analysis…

"Our world says that seeing is believing, but for us to behold the deep glory of the cross, we must see as God sees rather than as man sees. We treasure what is invisible and that is perhaps the greatest source of the spectacle tension in this age and of the Christian life. The great spectacle of Christ crucified is a spectacle for the ear, not a spectacle for the eye. For faith comes not by seeing, but by hearing."
