Understanding Music at its Deepest Levels
Every Christian organization that
is responsible for music and musicing must understand music at its deepest
levels if they are going to have an effective music witness in this post-postmodern world. It is one thing for an individual to not
bother to think through music’s nature and value philosophically, but it
entirely another to try to guide others in the area of music’s nature and value
without a thorough understanding of musical truth. One of the reasons that many Christian
organizations fail to develop a music philosophy is that they do not believe
that there is any objective truth or Bible basis concerning music’s nature and
value. Some Christians have the notion
that music philosophy is somewhat like jello gelatin i.e. that you cannot
pin its meaning down because it is never stable or solid.
