Christian convictions about broadcasting are sometimes expressed with great force. 'Opportunities and Limitations' is not intended to re-enforce one side of an argument. The book has been designed as a speaker's Corner with room enough for representatives from almost every point on the Christian compass.

'Opportunities and Limitations' is the background document for the Jerusalem Trust's second Cranfield Conference.

The Media and Theological Education Project was established to provide tools to enable theological educators across a range of disciplines to embrace media and communication concerns. Exploring the disciplines of History, Church, Ministry & Mission, Pastoral Care, Ethics, Bible, Theology, Word and Worship and Spirituality, 'Discerning Images' addresses the issue of the influence which the media context brings to bear on the subject and the method of teaching. Written with practical suggestions as well as theoretical considerations, this book is set to help move theological education into the media age.

A contemporary model for ministry is the minister as communicator. But how does theological education enable ministers to communicate in our modern society? The electronic media hold sway in modern communication. Shaping expectations and influencing human perception, these media changing how and what people learn and think and believe. The media are the primary shapers of modern culture, the world's storytellers and, for many people, have become the arbiters of meaning.

"The purpose of theological education is to make it possible for the gospel to be heard in our time."  (World Association for Christian Communication, 1989).
