This is one of those! Every time I teach a survey course on Religion in America in the 20th Century, I end with one titled "Jammin' with Jesus: Evangelicals and the Contemporary Christian Music Industry." It is always fun to teach. Students respond and discuss these issues in the most interesting ways. Perhaps this might be just the book I've been looking for as I know of no book that entirely satisfies me in its treatment of this theme.<br /><br />Curtis J.

This is from Jack Van Impe. ...Gotta get this book!<br /><br />This is from Jack Van Impe. Before he became a prophecy expert he was an anti-rock prophet. I think he's being a little too hard on Herman's Hermits!<br /><br />"Threats to physically abuse me always followed my expose of rock music. Here is what I said 15-20 years ago. 'I maintain that the music of Herman's Hermits, the Beatles, and all these rock groups is garbage!'"<br /><br />Come on?! Garbage? Inane maybe: "Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter / Girls as sharp as her are something rare / But it's sad, she doesn't love me now / She's made it clear enough it ain't no good to pine."<br /><br />I need to track down some of Van Impe's spoken word records. Don Yerxa, my colleague here at ENC and HS, received one of Impe's preaching-against-rock records from his parents around 1970 when Yerxa was a college student here at ENC. I'm sure that he and his friends in the dorm had some good laughs about it.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755286304057000048noreply@blogger.com
