La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
A Christianity that is without friction
in the culture is a Christianity that dies
The gospel we have is a missionary gospel,
one that must connect to those on the outside in order to
have life
Our call is to an engaged alienation a Christianity that
preserves
the distinctiveness of our gospel while not
retreating from our callings as neighbors friends and
citizens.
The test to move forward will be if we can engage
the culture without losing the gospel.- Russell Moore
