New Wine in Blue Suede Shoes

Tweet Share

The audio link is up for the latest Henry Institute symposium, this time on the issue of the interplay between Christian witness and pop culture. Joining me on the panel were Ken Myers, producer and host of Mars Hill Audio and author of All God’s Children and Blue Suede Shoes: Christians and Popular Culture, Albert Mohler, and Mark Coppenger.

The discussion took up how churches and Christians are influenced by pop culture, and how best to cultivate the “renewing of minds” through the Gospel in a culture fueled by an anti-authority edge. As one might expect, Drs. Mohler and Myers were more focused on highbrow culture; Drs. Coppenger and Moore delved more into the lowbrow stuff.

You will also want to listen to Myers’s entire series of Gheens Lectures, on issues ranging from technology and worship to contextualization to electronic media.

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
