THE ROLE OF THE AMERICAN TELEVANGELISM IN SHAPING A CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE OF THE COMMON MAN
Łukasz Krauze
Abstract
The televangelism shapes a religion consciousness of Christians living in the United States of America. Specially protestants who are involved in the evangelical movement. Success of the televangelism is rooted in a public availability, an accessible method of interpretation of God’s Word and pop culture connections. This paper unveils how the American televangelism influences on the religious consciousness of “the common man” and show a reason of an attractiveness of the televangelism though a modern world struggles with a faith’s crisis.
