Christian rock music
Adriana torrez
How did the 1970's rock era influence christian music during the 70's and in today's?
I chose to research this topic because i find it fascinating that the religious music of the 70's was no longer hymns,people playing the piano,or just a choir singing it had significantly changed.
History
As you may know the 70's was full of music from the 60's rebellious movements,progressive rock,funk and soul,punk rock and new wave music and others genres.However, the 1970's rock music showed greater openness and ideas in religious music such as classical hymnody to christian rock .
