Ministers of a New Medium

History & Biography

“In the most uncertain of times, Maier and Sheen indiscriminately sowed radio programs that unapologetically chose theological content, rather than shtick or sensationalism, in order to inform and inspire anyone who would listen. This engaging volume not only sheds light on the rich historical evidence related to the groundbreaking radio ministries of Maier and Sheen but also corrects much of what is assumed about the surprising successes of The Lutheran Hour and The Catholic Hour. A welcome publication in an age that attempts to reduce any explanation of lasting significance to either personality or method.”
