Summary:

Since the advent of radio, the "electronic church" has become a fixture in American society. Every hour of every day one can find a religious broadcast on either television or radio. In one encyclopedic sequence are entries on both the programs and the people of inspirational broadcasting, from the experimental shows in the early 1920s to the sophisticated, satellite dominated programs of today. Each program entry provides background information and a synopsis of the program. For personalities, a career summary includes information on their ministry and the shows in which they appeared. Major religious broadcasting channels and cable and satellite services are listed.
