Face The Music: Contemporary Church Music on Trial

Author Seidel believes that the style of music which has taken command of Protestant religious circles reflects more of Hollywood than Heaven. The sense of a Holy God has been replaced with hyped glamor. "We need a fresh perspective," he claims. "It is imperative that we take a frank and sympathetic look at this controversy and honestly ask, 'Where are the Church and its related educational institutions headed musically?'" It is time to face the music. Seidel’s book focuses on these salient points: Total apathy in the realm of aesthetics has produced a culturally atrophied generation ~ Music is not neutral. It is unthinkable that any honest student of music theory or history would believe otherwise ~ It is irrefutable that rock music owes some of its roots to the tribes of Africa ~ The Church has embraced the music of a rebellious generation under the questionable belief that it can reach a lost world ~ The integration of rock music and the worship of God is clear evidence that the Church has entered the final Laodecean age of apostasy.
