Developing a Christocentric Bible Based Music Philosophy

     Developing a Christocentric Bible Based Music Philosophy

           A concern that I have had for some time is that there is next to nothing published that will systematically assist church music and music education majors in Bible Colleges, Christian Colleges and Universities in developing a Christocentric Bible based music philosophy.  Christian musicians often think different things about music philosophy than secular music philosophers who do not love and serve Our Savior Jesus Christ.  However, more importantly, they think differently about the nature, value, and meaning of music. Because they think differently about what the Bible teaches about the nature value and meaning of music and musicing, they are at loggerheads with most secular music philosophers.

            If the only difference was that they thought different things about music and musicing, it would not be impossible to reconcile their philosophical differences.  Since there is such a wide chasm between the thinking of most Christian and secular music philosophers, it is my sincere hope that what is written in this eBook will cause Christians to think seriously about sacred music and musicing and also cause them to think seriously about their musical thinking – a process now commonly called metacognition.

Thought for the Day

When it comes to true truth found in the Bible, what it teaches cannot be true and not true at the same time.
