Mass Media, Communication and Communion: a Christian Vision of Social Communication Jorge Benson

Born in Buenos Aires in 1950, Jorge Benson is a R. C. priest, a doctor in moral theology, a former journalist, a golfer and a fisherman. Travels during several years allowed him to work on this book in Rome, Lyons, New York and Buenos Aires. This book presents us with a timely Christian vision of Social Communication: ? an objective and didactic vision of the world of the media of social communication. ? a balanced and inspiring moral analysis. ? a view from theology and pastoral work of what the mass media signify for and can accomplish and promise for the "mission" of the twenty-first century. We have in the work, in words of the Holy See, "an excellent book...the work of an accomplished and true communicator," which meets well the need of a concise, complete, readable and readily available text for entering within the world of social communication, forming morally correct judgments in its regard, and even raising oneself from the MSC to the contemplation of the Christian mysteries. The author endorses his work and enhances the worth of this volume with an abundant bibliography.
