angelo de simone

Christian Rock: Friend or foe? deals with a highly sensitive and controversial issue that is currently being disputed within the established Christian church. Some very stern judgments have been passed on Christian rock music and on the people who perform it, but the musicians themselves, who see it as their personal ministry for spreading the Good News, have not yet been given a fair hearing.

Here from a Christian musician's perspective, are thoughtful answers to questions such as these:

• Who created music?
• Where does the Bible stand on music?
• What is the function of music for the Christian church?
• Is music an integral part of a Christian's life?
• Is "Christian Rock" a contradiction in terms?
• Are all the traditional Christian songs truly inspired by God?
• Is there any difference between secular and Christian music?
• Is the message of Christian rock songs a watered-down or shallow Gospel?
• Is Christian rock music too worldly, just another form of entertainment?
• Is Christian rock music a form of addiction or sexual perversion?
• How long had this controversy existed within the established Christian church?

Over fifty reasons provided by Christians to the author for rejecting rock music as an acceptable ministry from God are examined in detail, revealing why there is such resistance to endorsing Christian rock within the established Christian church. Each reason is discussed from a logical, musical, and most important of all, scriptural standpoint. To substantiate the discussion, 275 Scripture references are provided. The reader is challenged to investigate the points raised by these reflections and to reach his or her own conclusion as to their validity.

Is Christian rock the friend of the established Christian church, or its foe? Is it a dangerous obstacle to the growth of the church? Or is it the great tool God has given us to further the coming of His Kingdom?

The stakes have never been higher. Thoughtful Christians cannot afford to reject an authentic ministry provided by God to bring to Himself the people of this increasingly troubled world.
