Broken Hallelujahs (Why Popular Music Matters to Those Seeking
God)—Christian Scharen. Christian Scharen offers a fresh theological
perspective on engaging faith and culture through a wide range of popular
music, including the blues, hip-hop, and rock. He begins by showing the limits of
approaches to culture that draw strict boundaries between saint and sinner, church
and world - approaches that may miss the creative ways God is active and at work
in the world. Scharen then articulates a theology of culture that calls readers to trust
God's redeeming presence in the midst of a broken creation. Written engagingly
yet with theological depth, this book will resonate with readers interested in the
interface between pop culture, music, and theology, as well as with pastors and
youth ministers.
