Description
Summary:Working on the theological grounding of God's fellowship, this article identifies the manifestations within which the theology of divine nearness is appropriated in television narratives that revolve around issues of enslavement and healing in Philippine media. Second, it describes the conversion of this warm reception into patronage of the divine nearness responding to the human need for healing. This warm reception underscores the role of faith in the daily grind of life for an ordinary Christian viewer. This new space in media presents the merging of religion and media through narratives of healing in the context of human suffering. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
