Plot

Image-based media obsessed with sex, violence, and celebrity worship are driving a mass-media frenzy reminiscent of pagan idolatry. This book is a warning that by exalting visual imagery we risk becoming mindless pagans. The church is being cut off from its word-based heritage and we are open to abuse by those who exploit the image but neglect the word.
