Description

""Think of what revitalizing journalism would do for the cause of Christ in America!

It is the most needed sort of pre-evangelism; it is training in Christian worldview; it is an aid to sanctification, and you need to teach people how to do it.""--J.

I. Packer to Marvin OlaskyTelling the Truth is Dr. Olasky's valuable response to this charge from the noted theologian.

In it he emphasizes both the philosophical and the practical: detailing the need for Christian journalists to have a well developed worldview, and giving essential instruction to help them hone their writing, editing, and interviewing skills. The shortcomings of modern journalism are many. Too often evangelical publications, instead of exhibiting the journalistic excitement of the hunt, are content printing public-relations releases and carrying on their business in a joyless manner.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Indeed, as Christians, it must not be this way! We are called to excellence; to do our work in such a way that it glorifies the Creator Himself.

This incisive book not only urges journalists to grasp the significance of their purpose but also shows them how to more effectively accomplish it.

As Olasky says, ""If even fifty new, talented, biblically directed journalists were to emerge in America during the next few years, the revitalization of Christian journalism would be well under way.""Marvin Olasky is Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, Senior Fellow of The Progress & Freedom Foundation in Washington, D.C., and Editor of World, a weekly newsmagazine from a Christian perspective.

The author of ten books and the co-author or editor of many more, Dr. Olasky's critically acclaimed work, The Tragedy of American Compassion, is considered by many to be the most important book on welfare and social policy in a decade.
