Join us for an intimate reading and conversation with Pastor, Blogger, Author Nadia Bolz-Weber.

Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television is a beautiful conversational approach to theology, humor, personal reflection and hope, in spite of ludicrous and the broken.


What others are saying about the book:


"Turn off your TV and read this book. It's enlightening and entertaining and it doesn't emit any radiation whatsoever."
--AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically

"For those searching for faith through the fog of Christian folk religion Nadia Bolz-Weber is the ideal guide. Full of wit, sensitivity, and insight, Salvation On The Small Screen is a rare gift for the faith-seeking in the postmodern age. This book will invite, provoke and soothe those seeking to find Christianity in the midst of televised faith."
-Doug Pagitt, author of A Christianity Worth Believing



From 5am November 2nd to 5 am November 3rd (2007) Nadia Bolz-Weber watched 24 consecutive hours of cable televangelism/prosperity gospel fare on Trinity Broadcasting Network. 28 guests, including Bible Scholars from Iliff School of Theology, a gay Unitarian, her non-religious ex-boyfriend, a couple of Jews, her Evangelical parents, Lutheran pastors and her 9 year old daughter all joined Nadia for an hour each so that the book becomes a conversation between what's happening on the TV, what's happening on the sofa, and what's happing in the writer's head. The result is a narrative which is frequently hysterical, often insightful and occasionally totally surprising.

Nadia Bolz-Weber is the mission developer at House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, Colorado, an "emergent" liturgical community. She holds a BA in Religious Studies from University of Colorado at Boulder and an MDiv from Iliff School of Theology. Nadia lives in Denver with her husband and two children and blogs at www.sarcasticlutheran.com
