Evangelists offer series through Netflix service
Alongside its popular television shows, Netflix recently began offering series by four pastors.
“I believe if Jesus were on planet Earth today in the flesh, he’d be on Netflix,” said Ed Young, one of the pastors, who spearheaded the effort to get Christian talks into the online video streaming service. “We’re always working to try to market to the people who normally would not go to church.”
Stewart M. Hoover, director of the Center for Media, Religion and Culture at the University of Colorado, Boulder, predicts that the new sermon series are more likely to attract Christian customers to Netflix than to convert Netflix users to Christianity.
