Aesthetic Relativism

Sharing Options

“Among conservative believers we at least have a concept of resistance to relativism in the areas of truth and ethics. We reject the idea that something can be true on Tuesday but false on Friday. We also reject the notion that sins in the first part of the week gradually lose their sinfulness by the weekend. But when it comes to aesthetics, we sound like a bunch of atheists in our defensive responses whenever someone tells us that the music we worship God with is the musical equivalent of a slab of Velveeta. As the Eagles so wonderfully exhorted us, we need to get over it” (The Case for Classical Christian Education, p. 161).
