dc.description.abstractAfrican traditional media had a strong tradition of Oral communication. Apart from Islamic literature that can be traced in North Africa especially in Egypt and Sub-Sahara, there was little opportunity or need for the development of written materials, let alone newspapers, magazines, television or radio as in the secular world or as we have it today in the church. It was only after the coming of the early missionaries and the introduction of new Communication media and literacy in Africa, that we saw the beginning of the local media and the advancement of technological information in the church. In this essay we shall see in Chapter One how the range of communication from the African perspective, in advancement has evolved historically. Then in Chapter two we shall look at how far modern information technology of media in the church has been established, the problems being encountered and search for the ranges of religion and mass media. This of course has to do with the "word" or the messages involved in communication. That is, messages have the capacity to influence people, thus owners of the means of mass communication of different kind, indeed contain the power to influence those who receive their message. In Chapter three will examine the theological implications of communication in our contemporary world , especially in meeting the challenges that Christians face and how to give positive responses to the question people out there are asking about media. Eventually will find a theology of communication and see how Jesus if he were alive today, the methods he would use to spread the gospel. Then finally we shall give in Chapter four the suggestion and recommendation of communication in range of technological development in the Church of Africa. It should not be taken for granted that the Media can perform miracles in bringing transformation in the society. Otherwise this be left as one of the methods; simple because "it" has to take careful planning analysis of the phenomena that covers the whole communication process, and evaluation in order to design and prepare communication that will achieve the desired results.en_US
