[Rev. Jennie preaching] Ray Bradbury’s now famous novel was published on October 19, 1953, a time of deep unrest and suspicion in our nation. It has been one of the most frequently banned books. He wrote it to warn society about how mass media, technology, and a demand for total conformity could destroy critical thinking and the desire to read literature. And his main point was about the public choosing superficial entertainment over deep thought. This sermon will explore the novel’s relevance to us today.
