[An] insightful and informed review of the whole debate. I
especially appreciate the thorough discussion of issues such as
quality, Christ-centeredness, and the role of the intellect, along
with a fair appraisal of some of CWM's besetting weaknesses.--James
Ward, Director of Music, New City Fellowship Presbyterian Church in
American, Chattanooga
A premier composition--- bold, balanced, and convincing. Add
courageous as he takes on some big name CWM critics, defends his
musical and theological credentials, and even offers his approved
list of songs.--George C. Miladin, Senior Pastor, New Life Orthodox
Presbyterian Church, San Diego
Here, at last, is a case--and one made articulately and
winsomely--for using contemporary music in worship with theological
integrity . . . it is rare to find an author who makes his case
with as much balance.--Reggie M. Kidd, Associate Professor of New
Testament, Reformed Theoloogical Seminary, Orlando
His reasoned, scriptural, and theological arguments and insights
help readers rethink traditional wisdom on the important but
controversial subject of what music is appropriate in God-centered
worship.--Paul E. Engle, Visiting Instructor, Reformed Theological
Seminary, Knox Theological Seminary
John Frame goes a long way toward sorting out the issues involved
in contemporary worship music [CWM] and making us aware of the
criteria for judging it.--William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics,
Westminster Theological Seminary
