The prophets still speak: "Image trumps word."

Half a century ago Jacques Barzun commented, "Everywhere picture and sound crowd out text. The Word is in disfavor, not to say in disrepute--which indeed is one way of abolishing the problem of communication." The House of Intellect, p.16.
I noticed that the bookstore at Bethlehem Baptist sells a full-length book that addresses just this issue. How do people of the Book continue to hear and share the eternal Word of God when movie/video has taken over as the primary conveyor of meaning; when the majority of adults do not read a book a year; when our churches splash Powerpoint images throughout services, whether they open the Bible or not? Does anyone think this is largely a generational non-issue? Or is there a new Iconoclast Controversy headed our way, one more thing to divide the Church? Or, more hopefully, do the same new technologies that have created this mess contain within them undreamed of new opportunities for the Word? (After all, the images produced by a revolutionary new technology--propaganda woodcuts attacking both Luther and the Pope--are gone or relegated to obscure used books; the words of Luther are still readily available, and sold, and perhaps even read, 500 years later.)
