These principles are then contrasted with the contemporary Christian music movement. This well-documented book by Tim Fisher answers many difficult questions about church music today. Most books about Christian music begin from a musical or historical premise. In The Battle for Christian Music, Tim Fisher begins from a scriptural premise to show what Christian music really Christian music is that music where the text, music, performers, and performance practices are conforming to the image of Christ. He then contrasts scriptural principle with the contemporary Christian music movement (CCM). CCM is one of the most divisive issues confronting the church today. The Battle for Christian Music addresses this most difficult issue in a fair and biblical manner.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Tim Fisher</note> <subject> <topic>United States</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Music in churches</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Contemporary Christian music</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">264.2</classification> <classification authority="ddc">F533-T58</classification> <identifier type="isbn">18007674326</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16088/27.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16088/27.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071544.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
