요약 : Previous studies conducted in the area of religious media use have left a void for an ethnographic treatment among African Americans. This study seeks to fill that void by focusing on the religious media use habits of a community of African American Baptists. The purpose is to provide a detailed description of this community's religious belief system, their traditions, the sociological context of their media use, and their media use motives and patterns. In this study, religious media are defined as Christian radio programming, televangelism, popular religious books, and gospel recorded music. I argue that the Uses and Gratifications tradition is suitable for utilizing an ethnographic approach. The method included a total of 21 in-depth interviews of the members of this church environment, 20 hours of direct observational sessions targeting routine church events and media use activity, and document analysis of church materials. The results show examples of two basic kinds of media use patterns. More active patterns of media use include evidence of biblical filtering, and overt responses to televangelist messages. Passive patterns of media use include background noise, and bracketing the day. Five different types of motivations were found. They included preparing for Sunday services, sparking conversation, provoking open and honest testifying, keeping abreast of non-biblical teachings, and feeling better about difficult situations. The process of biblical filtering was observed as a gradual learning process in which members consult with mentors, pastors, and friends to critique televangelism by both learning biblical scripture and respecting the bible as an authoritative document. Different levels of biblical filtering are categorized. The direct observation of the women's fellowship group led to the categorization of four different modes of social viewing; viewer contemplation, viewer affirmation, viewer amusement, and viewer compliance.
