April Stace

Secular Music, Sacred Space

Evangelical Worship and Popular Music

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When post-denominational evangelical and emerging churches incorporate secular music into worship services, it’s more than a gimmick to attract non-Christians; its use embodies beliefs about the importance of an individual spiritual journey, the boundary between the sacred and the secular, and the importance of lament in the life of faith.
