Christianity Today review
Patton Dodd reviews my book. My favorite part:
But the question persists, because in evangelical circles there’s a lot of chatter and concern over whether particular music is “Christian” or “secular.” Well—here’s a fool’s axiom: Both inside the parallel universe of Christian music and in every other universe, the only one who can make music Christian is Christ. No matter what we make of Bazan or Crowder, Rebecca St. James or Michael W. Smith, Mute Math or Newsboys—or, for that matter, U2, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Sufjan Stevens, and a million other acts—when we’re talking about music, we’d do well to remember our categories are too simple, too inflexible, and too earthy to contain the truth.
