I wish to thank Dr. Jon Pray, vice-provost for educational technology at Marquette University, whose unwavering good humor and steely nerves met each challenge calmly along the way as we developed the linked classroom, where many of the authors in this volume conversed via teleconference with my students in media and religion.

Among those to whom I owe a special word of thanks are those in Merton Studiesespecially the late Dr.

Academics like Harvey Cox, Martin Marty, and Elaine Pagels were the exceptions who kept avenues open to popular media without damaging their academic standing.
