Christianity and the Media


The media has provoked diverse reactions amongst Christians. On one hand, the media provides opportunities to spread the message of Christianity into places where Christian missionaries cannot go. For example, foreign Christian missionaries have been banned from teaching Christianity within Iran . However, satellite Christian broadcasts in Persian (the language spoken in Iran) have been transmitted into Iran and many Iranians have become Christians through this. In this country many thought provoking television programmes make people think more about Christianity. However, the media also can portray Christians in a negative light. Some Christians hold the media responsible for the decline in moral standards. These Christians believe that as what they consider 'immoral behaviour' is portrayed on screen so much that eventually people copy it.
