Reviews
"Brown enfolds, true to the times and the academic spirit, a host ofreligious traditions and denomenations, seating them as equals at a roundtable....[he] stops short of any final moral judgment, for he is too much thescholar and too little the preacher to do so."--American Organist, "Some philosophers have dealt seriously with the difficult problem of taste. If there is another treatment as extensive as this one, I am not aware of it...As an intelligent and learned guide for those dealing with the use of art and music in the church, this book is, as far as I know,incomparable."--Theology Today, "A provocative analysis, sure to open new lines of dialogue between artists and believers."--Booklist, This is a fascinating study: a book which gives the reader much to consider. Despite its teasing title, it is a serious examination of a serious subject, "Seldom are complexity and clarity, knowledge and commitment, religiousgenerosity and concreteness, faith and pluralism so evident as in thisvolume."--ARTS, "Burch Brown has opened a way for a Christian theology to rejoin theongoing task of culture critique, setting forth a broad agenda for Christianaesthetics."--Anglican Theological Review, "Frank Burch Brown, F.D. Kerschner Professor of Religion and the Arts andChristian Theological Seminary, has written a book that is important forchurches seeking to understand themselves better and to more faithfully expresstheir common loyalty to Jesus Christ. Not only does it help in understanding thediversity of taste and contribute to an informed reflection on likes anddislikes in grassroots religious communities, but it also is a serioustheological consideration of aesthetics for criticism and dialogue in theso-called secular world."--Mid-Stream, "Brown enfolds, true to the times and the academic spirit, a host of religious traditions and denomenations, seating them as equals at a round table....[he] stops short of any final moral judgment, for he is too much the scholar and too little the preacher to do so."--American Organist, "A provocative analysis, sure to open new lines of dialogue betweenartists and believers."--Booklist, The author is not only an erudite and distinguished scholar but a fair-minded man who does full justice to the opinions of those whose positions in theology and aesthetics are different from his own, "Burch Brown has opened a way for a Christian theology to rejoin the ongoing task of culture critique, setting forth a broad agenda for Christian aesthetics."-- Anglican Theological Review, "Seldom are complexity and clarity, knowledge and commitment, religious generosity and concreteness, faith and pluralism so evident as in this volume."--ARTS, "Burch Brown has opened a way for a Christian theology to rejoin the ongoing task of culture critique, setting forth a broad agenda for Christian aesthetics."--Anglican Theological Review, "Frank Burch Brown, F.D.

Synopsis
Christians frequently come into conflict with themselves and others over such matters as music, popular culture, and worship style. Yet they usually lack any theology of art or taste adequate to deal with aesthetic disputes. In this provocative book, Frank Burch Brown offers a constructive, "ecumenical" approach to artistic taste and aesthetic judgment--a non-elitist but discriminating theological aesthetics that has "teeth but no fangs." While grounded in history and theory, this book takes up such practical questions as: How can one religious community accommodate a variety of artistic tastes? What good or harm can be done by importing music that is worldly in origin into a house of worship? How can the exercise of taste in the making of art be a viable (and sometimes advanced) spiritual discipline? In exploring the complex relation between taste, religious imagination, and faith, Brown offers a new perspective on what it means to be spiritual, religious, and indeed Christian., Christians frequently come into conflict with themselves and others over such matters as music, popular culture, and worship style.
