It isn't working very well.\u003c\/i\u003e (from the foreword) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe gospel has always been conveyed primarily by speaking it to people. The problem is that in today's world of television people listen and hear differently than they listened and heard in the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"When preachers understand the dynamics of this new world, then the gospel can ring with new vigor and life in our preaching,\" writes the author. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreaching To A TV Generation\u003c\/i\u003e explores the changes brought to our society by television.
