A SCRIPTURAL INDEX OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC

A SCRIPTURAL INDEX OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC

The following is a list of songs composed primarily by Christian artists and bands which are a paraphrase of, or a reflection on, a particular Bible verse or passage. The listing of these songs does not in any way endorse them as being accurate theological reflections or comments on a particular passage of Scripture. Artists/bands in bold type are those who are with mainstream record labels. Your further comments or suggestions are most welcome, as are inquiries about availability of particular CDs as well. Email me at frank.rasenberger@.au . I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Australian contemporary Christian music journalist/promoter Wes Jay & Mark Allan Powell (author of the `Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music' [Hendrickson Publishers, c. 2002]).

NB. The band ApologetiX is the `Weird Al Yankovic' of the Contemporary Christian Music world ? they perform parodies of mainstream artist's/band's songs. If you want to know what artist or band they are parodying or what the name of the original song is, feel free to contact me on the above email address. For a comprehensive listing of mainstream songs covered by Christian artists and bands, check out the `Christians Covering The Mainstream' list at m-resources-from-frank.htm .
