{"product_id":"eternity-in-the-ether-gavin-feller-9780252086854","title":"Eternity in the Ether: A Mormon Media History","description":"Mass media and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints evolved alongside each other, and communications technology became a fundamental part of the Church's institutions and communities. Gavin Feller investigates the impact of radio, television, and the internet on Mormonism and what it tells us about new media's integration into American life. The Church wrestled with the promise of new media to help implement its vision of Zion. But it also had to contend with threat that media posed to the family and other important facets of the Latter-day Saint faith. Inevitably, media technologies forced the leadership and lay alike to reconsider organizational values and ethical commitments. As Feller shows, the conflicts they faced illuminate the fundamental forces of control and compromise that enmesh an emerging medium in American social and cultural life. \u003cp\u003eIntriguing and original, \u003ci\u003eEternity in the Ether\u003c\/i\u003e blends communications history with a religious perspective to examine the crossroads where mass media met Mormonism in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gavin Feller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252086856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252086854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gavin Feller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070627115263,"sku":"9780252086854","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a27d378e-5aa1-4a96-bf21-12c8a126014c.jpg?v=1685431421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eternity-in-the-ether-gavin-feller-9780252086854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
