Product Description:
Acoustic guitars, dull melodies, radio stations that play the same antiquated songs over and over again, lyrics full of clichéd Christianized jargon, pipe organs, and choirs stoically belting out traditional hymns are just a few of the stigmas associated with Christian music.

These stereotypes are far from being completely true, but Christian music does have serious problems. Financial demands, corporate integration, and religious rhetoric have influenced Christian music in many negative ways. The styles, trends, technologies, and overall quality of art are progressing at a painfully slow rate.

These factors, along with many others, have caused Contemporary Christian Music to become a genre that is becoming dangerously ethnocentric and insular to an audience that is increasingly diverse and modernized.

"Saving Christian Music" is a collection of essays that delve into these issues and reveal how Contemporary Christian Music can save itself before becoming completely irrelevant to both secular and Evangelical audiences.
