Playlist | Paperback + eBook Bundle

This bundle includes the paperback and the eBook of Playlist Theology.

You are tired of the music debate. Maybe you were burned by the old charts and the sermons that called every beat a sin. Maybe you still hold conservative convictions but could not defend them to your own teenager to save your life. Either way, you have watched the argument produce more heat than light, and you have watched young people walk away while the adults argued.

Playlist Theology gives you a biblical grid instead of another list. Ben Everson grew up in a musical family, trained under the pioneers of conservative music philosophy, and still holds that music is not neutral and that discernment matters. But he walks back the applications that went a few exits too far, and he shows you how music actually works, what Scripture says and does not say, and where the real boundaries are.

Christians will not all agree on music this side of Heaven. If not unison, then harmony: this book gives pastors, parents, and musicians the vocabulary to reason together with conviction and charity.

Who is this for?

• Pastors who need to lead their churches through music questions without fear or silence
• Parents guiding their children's listening who want reasons, not just rules
• Church musicians living in the tension between truth and tradition
• Anyone burned by the old arguments who still wants to honor God with music
