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.
