Description

Becoming What We Sing: Formation Through Contemporary Worship Music by David Lemley explores the complex relationship between contemporary worship music and Christian identity. As Lemley examines the cultural context in which we sing, he probes the thought of influential figures while engaging with current ideas to provide a thorough assessment of contemporary worship music's cultural economy. Lemley draws on cultural criticism, ethnomusicology, and liturgical theology to investigate how our participation in contemporary worship music shapes our understanding of ourselves and our place within society. By exploring the intersection of Christian practice and cultural norms, Lemley offers a nuanced analysis that will guide readers toward greater awareness of who we are becoming as we sing. Through this thoughtful examination, Lemley seeks to ensure that our engagement with contemporary worship music rehearses a cruciform identity, one that is grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of contemporary Christian practice and its relationship to broader cultural trends.
