Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns: How Pop Culture Rewrote the Hymnal
by T. David Gordon
On This Page
Description
In this book, I attempt to locate some of the cultural forces that have caused hymns to sound so foreign to this generation that they feel they need to replace them with something contemporary. I also express misgivings about this circumstance. - Author website.Tags

Really good points especially first half. Somewhat repetitive, overly critical of guitars and contemporary music but still points out legitimate flaws and reasons for being so critical. Very well written and helpful in forming a God-glorifying focus for why we sing and why what and howwe sing matters.

T. David Gordon looks at these changes in worship and not only examines the problems, but also provides solutions. They are solutions of great importance to us all-because how we sing affects how we live.
