Bowl of Wrath: Questioning the Theology of Christian Rock (#009)

We revisit some of our favorite Christian rock songs from our youth and discuss the lyrics and theological messages that were being communicated through the music. Also, did Dante create our modern conception of Hell? Why do we talk about Adam Again so much? How was one of the most uplifting hymns of all time written by a man who lost everything? Does God hate us?

Bands/ Music discussed:

Lauren Daigle
Gungor
Adam Again
Lewis
Leonard Cohen
The Innocence Mission
Cowboy Junkies
Over the Rhine
Red House Painters
Sun Kil Moon
Shane and Shane

God Gave Rock & Roll To You is a podcast exploring the Christian rock subculture of the late 20th century, hosted by Matt Beaton with co-hosts Doug Dickens and Tony Hormillosa.

We are friends who each grew up in a distinct version of this world, and we want to discuss what it was, where it came from, and what it turned into. We’ll be taking many side roads along the way, while listening to some of the best (and worst) music of the era..
