Shadowcast Radio
Music as Theology
Show Notes

In this episode we have Andrew Kneeland join us, our long time creative contributor and fill-in host for the show, to discuss to topic of music and the way this art form fits within a Biblical framework. Music has the powerful ability to communicate mood and tell stories, and we argue that in a wordless way intrinsically tells the story of the scripture. Join us as we discuss some of our favorite bands/songs, work through the classification of the "Christian" genre, and discuss the theological basis for approaching music.
