Status Updates From A History of Contemporary P...

This book is answering so many questions that I’ve held for so long.

So far, this is interesting. The authors are trying to explain how what we think of as “contemporary praise and worship” came to be. They do this by asserting that two different strains of thought, both arising in the 1940s, merged into the single movement in the 1990s. Essentially, one group wanted to restore biblical praise and worship and the other wanted to be relevant. Now, it’s one movement that’s everywhere.
