The Christian Musician Thinks
Differently-part 3
I
have observed that often what musicians say they believe about music and how they
actually music are often somewhat different. This disparity is generally caused
by the musician’s worldview of music and, based on the reality of that view,
what the musician believes music will or
will not do to the whole life of a Christian.
Furthermore, based on the notion many Christians have that music is not
capable of harming a Christian spiritually, a Christian musician’s worldview
may become clouded by *skewed perception and thereby cause the development of a
false view of music’s power to affect the whole life of a Christian.
My
brother recently gave a friend a copy of my new book Music Philosophy in Christian Perspective. His friend asked him for a copy of my
college choir. Since I am retired, I had
to look through my CD collection to find a recording of my college teaching
days. The reason he wanted a recording
was because he said, “When I read his book I will see what he says he believes,
but when I hear his musical performances of sacred music I will find out what
he actually believes about sacred music.
