Informed by media ecology, this course evaluates evangelical approaches in the Catholic church by exploring how their representations of faith and modes of rhetoric evolve out of, and respond to, predominant media environments. First examining the interplay between oral and literate forms of expression as foundational to the Church's intellectual tradition and communication of doctrine, the course then analyzes how Catholic communication has adapted to the challenges of later technological environments constituted by print, electric, and digital media.
