description: Contemporary or traditional? Blended or seeker? Pop or classical? Chorus or hymn? Combo or organ? Questions concerning music in worship abound these days. Is there a practical way to deal with these issues? In Music and Ministry: A Biblical Counterpoint Calvin Johansson looks to God's Word for principles foundational to music ministry. Weaving together great scriptural truths he establishes the need for a directional balance between pastoral contextualization and prophetic purity. In a time of facile musical accommodation of the gospel to culture Dr. Johansson suggests that a heightened concern for musical style and quality is in order not for the sake of music but for the sake of the gospel.
