Six talks to get you thinking, and maybe singing… Cheer up those winter nights with six talks that explore the relationship between music and our relationship with God.
Telling God’s Story in Rock & Pop
Rock and Pop music have never seemed obvious partners of the churches. Often rock and pop stars challenge all the moral codes the churches are seeking to promote. But this is to miss some of the theology hidden away in contemporary music, music which is so important for our society and culture. In this talk Graeme Smith will examine some of the most recent research discussing the theology in the music of Lady Gaga. Come and find out if you are a ‘little monster’!
