Music: The Handmaiden of Theology

It is no question that the words we sing in our songs to the Lord must be biblical. The theology of the lyrics must be in accord with the theology in the Bible. But, what about the music itself? What does theology have to do with music? Since the Bible doesn't give us any written music, does that mean that any music is acceptable in worship? In this message, Dr. Sproul explores the basics to understanding the intricacies of good music and the relationship between music and theology.
