Are There Any Absolutes?—part
1
I am
deeply indebted to the work of Francis Schaffer for opening to me a very clear
basic understanding of how philosophical thought has shaped the thinking of
modern and postmodern Christians. After
reading his Escape from Reason and The
God Who is There as well as
other of his great works, it became clear to me how many Christian musicians
came to believe that there are no absolutes in music.
For
centuries philosophers believed that it was possible for all thought to come
under a unified filed of knowledge. They
often fought bitterly over just what that unified field of knowledge
included. Although philosophers did not
agree on the content of that unified knowledge, they did agree that
philosophical endeavor could and should bring about a philosophy of hope to the
world.
Thought
for the Day
If a Christian musician’s music is to be Christocentric,
it must be congruent with God’s Word and Bible principles of musicing.
