Could it be possible that there are traces of early PR in the Bible? This seems like a super weird thing to even consider, but... I can kind of see how this could be a thing. What I'm thinking is, since there was no media outlets or anything back then, PR was different-- it had a different definition and context. In a sense, Jesus' disciples and prophets were running PR campaigns for Jesus, trying to make him "viral" and spread the good news of a Savior that came to earth to save all of mankind! Through the telling of Jesus' parables and miracles, His name was spreading like wildfire, and people became curious and wanted to know more and see this Jesus for themselves. Another Old Testament example is Moses. This is kind of a 2-in-1 PR example. For starters, Moses used PR to tell of God's mission and served as God's medium to show signs and miracles. Also, Aaron used PR for Moses, since he couldn't speak very well. He was literally speaking on his/ His behalf. PR was kind of like Evangelism back then. By spreading the news of Christ, His name was becoming more and more popular, and more and more people were trying to see Him and hear His teachings. This is still true today. The more people spread the joy and good news tucked within the Bible, the more people hear about it. Simply proclaiming the news isn't enough, however. As Christians we're called to act it out by loving everyone, not being judgmental, and wholeheartedly following Christ in everything we do by obeying His commandments and worshiping Him with all of our being. We have the advantage of social media, though. We can share our testimonies and stories of His wondrous grace on whichever social media platform we choose. Even though the times have changed and technology has rapidly evolved, He remains, and that's what is so special. Check out this cool video:
