"In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message:
it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same."
Marshall McLuhan

[Live Video] Transformers and Proclaimers: What's that all about?

This is the fourth video of Adam Niven' s #FBLiveVideoChallenge for Media Theology. In it Adam expands on the terms Transformers and Proclaimers as they are presented in Woods and Patton's Prophetically Incorrect: A Christian Introduction to Media Criticism.

Transformers are those who aren't so worried about the "holiness" side of a piece of content - so it may be violent, have coarse language, have sex scenes etc, but so long as it can open up a dialogue and conversation that can intersect with the Christian faith then that is ok.

Proclaimers are much more interested in adopting the different media platforms and types available and using them to share/spread "Christian" content. So this kind of content is to be wholesome and not have the things mentioned above.

Here's a link to Woods and Patton's book on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Prophetically-Incorrect-Christian-Introduction-Criticism/dp/1587432765
