Does Reformed Theology Lead to CCM? Part 1

Scott Aniol

Introduction

Musical SymbolI often hear claims in various contexts that particular theological positions on salvation (soteriology) or understandings of biblical interpretation (hermeneutics) necessarily lead to either so-called “conservative” or “progressive” music or worship philosophies. What I would like to do in this essay is to demonstrate that such positions do not, in fact, automatically lead one to hold a particular worship or music philosophy.

Kevin T. Bauder

In The Nick of TimeGenuinely conservative Christianity is hard to find. Discovering people who understand Christian conservatism is even harder. Many Christians think that they are conservatives when, in fact, they are committed to alternative liberalisms in significant aspects of their thought and practice. Most likely the reason for this phenomenon is that most people do not realize that liberalism comes in more than one form.
