"Sogaard concentrates his reflections on three aspects of Christian communication. In the first part he defines what he understands as the 'foundational principles for the use of media in Church and mission'. God as a communicator making himself known centred in the incarnation, and the commission to communicate defined as 'making Christ known and understood', are at the heart of his understanding of communication. In the second part he describes the importance of several media for use by the Churches. In the third part he includes some guidelines for media in Church and mission and a good number of practical examples for diverse Church activities. The author is a well known communicator working as Associate Professor of Communication at Fuller School of World Mission in Pasadena, consultant for the United Bible Society and several other organisations around the world, with vast experiences as a missionary in Thailand for 13 years."
