Summary: | This paper is part of a larger study of the Christian discourse on popular music. The object of study is the discourse about popular music, not the music or the culture itself. The study examines examples of how the issue of popular music has been debated in churches both in the United States and Europe since the 1950s. The study is concerned with what function this discourse, that is, the Christian rock debate, performs within the religious institutions, and not primarily what it means to the fans or the musicians. This debate is presented here as an example of how institutional religion relates to modern society. |
