     THE MEDIUM 
     AND THE LIGHT
     Reflections on Religion and Media
     Marshall McLuhan
     
     Say the name Marshall McLuhan and you think of the great discoverer's 
     explorations of the media.  But throughout his life, McLuhan never 
     stopped reflecting profoundly on the nature of God and worship, and on 
     the traditions of the Church and of Catholic doctrine.  Here, like a 
     golden thread lining his public utterances on the media, are McLuhan's 
     brilliant probes of the nature of conversions; the church's 
     understanding of media; the shape of tomorrow's church; religion and 
     youth; and the God-making machines of the modern world.
     
     Eric McLuhan is also the author of Electric Language, The Role of 
     Thunder in Finnegans Wake, City as Classroom, and Laws of Media (the
     last two with Marshall McLuhan).  
     He teaches in the McLuhan Program at the University of Toronto.
     
     Jacek Szklarek was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1991 after 
     finishing his master's degree on the Protestant theologian Wolfhart 
     Pannenberg at Catholic University in Lublin, Poland.  He works as a 
     parish priest, a film writer and director, and a correspondent for 
     Vatican Radio.
