About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

Thanks, that was an insightful interview. I was especially intrigued by the question about who will succeed Postman and McLuhan. Schultz's book was a good suggestion. Have you read or heard about Shane Hipps? His two books are titled, "The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture: How Media Shapes Faith, the Gospel, and Church" and "Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith". Although he has been associated with the "emergent" church, he nevertheless does a good job of critiquing postmodernism and his arguments are very intersting, definitely worth interacting with in my opinion. He leans heavily on McLuhan in some places and is good at surveying historical context as well.

Well done. An excellent interview about a wonderful book on a topic that is too often ignored. In the rush to embrace the "new," we neglect to apply discernment, much to our detriment.
J:
I skimmed his first book, but didn't find anything new in it.
Hipps's blog called Rob Bell "a great thinker." So much for Hibbs.
I wrote an unpublished review of Shane Hipps book The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture for Christianity Today when it first came out. You're right, he pulls a lot from McLuhan--- so much so in fact that one might as well just read McLuhan himself! I wouldn't recommend it, along with why Doug said.
For what it's worth, the interview has been partly translated into Dutch and published with a backlink to the interview and a link to your book at Bol.com:
