Bieber, Mel Gibson, Rob Bell, stadium rock culture, and VIP packages to meet worship arts are impacting our theology and practice of worship. How is media shifting our worship? Are we selling worship? Do we worship Christian celebrities?
In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Perigo hosts Prof. Pete Ward of Durham University in the UK as they discuss Pete’s research into the rise of worship as an economic commodity and the rise of worship celebrities. This discussion draws in themes from Pete’s Selling Worship and Celebrity Worship. Also, listen to the end to hear a little of Pete’s current work into bluegrass as he ponders why gospel music draws those from many faith traditions.
