Lester Ruth, Associate Professor of Worship and Liturgy at Asbury Theological Seminary, analyzed the top 70 or so contemporary worship songs used over the last decade. In a lecture at SBTS he says: "A rich doctrine of the Trinity can give us more reasons to love God, not less."
He asked a church musician why there was so little theological content in church music and was told "there's a fear among composers and churches that if a song sounds too theological it won't be worshipful."
It's a fascinating listen if you have an hour to spare, say, if you're waiting up for your husband to get home from work or something. for example.
HT: Challies, like usual.
