"It’s All about Jesus" – A Critical Analysis of the Ways in Which the Songs of Four Contemporary Worship Christian Songwriters Can Lead to an Impoverished Christology

"It’s All about Jesus" – A Critical Analysis of the Ways in Which the Songs of Four Contemporary Worship Christian Songwriters Can Lead to an Impoverished Christology

  • Technical
  • Andrew Goodliff

This article examines the doctrine of Christ expressed in the songs of four contemporary worship songwriters: Matt Redman, Tim Hughes, [Martyn Layzell], and Paul Oakley. The author's thesis is that the songs do indeed focus on Jesus, but the Christology is very limited and poor. Insufficient attention is given to the doctrine of the Trinity. The offices of Christ as priest and prophet do not function sufficiently in these songs.

The harmony that exists between the various doctrines of the Christian faith is such that error in regard to any one of them produces more or less distortion in all of the others. Loraine Boettner
