Abstract

This paper explores the origins of media ecology as defined by Neil Postman. It clarifies the extent to which McLuhan and Korzybski influenced its development, and discusses specific strengths and weaknesses of the theory as a vehicle for study. Finally, this paper explores Judeo-Christian influences upon media ecology, briefly examines the place of media ecology in church history beginning with Luther, and finally offers fresh applications of Postman’s ideas to three particular aspects of the everyday practice of the Christian faith.
