Measuring the Music

Book excerpt: This book is a new approach to an old debate. While many Christians refuse to question the practices, presuppositions, and theology of CCM, John Makujina dares to challenge the music and the method of this billion-dollar-a-year mega craze. In the words of Calvin M. Johansson, "Makujina takes the reader step by step through a series of well-thought-through insights which go to the heart of the church's adoption of popular musical culture. It is a meaty detailed, thought-provoking treatise which should be read by every pastor, musician, church official, and parishioner. If there was ever a need for such a cleansing and prophetic work, it is now."--Publisher.
