The Bible and Music

Over the last few days and the weekend, I have been doing research on modern and older music that has connections to certain scenes or words in the Bible. It was a neat experience for me because I had the chance to find songs that were unfamiliar to me and some that were on the top of my playlist. The songs that I found ranged from 80’s rock music to country songs that were released a few years ago. I had to dig deep into a few songs to search for the deeper meaning and connection to the Bible, while some had more direct allusions. The verses and scenes also were diverse and came from several different chapters in the Bible. We did not have class today, so we will spend the majority of class on Wednesday talking about the songs that we discovered. I am anxious to see the similar songs that my classmates have and ones that stand out that have not been looked into.
