The Origins of Christian Rock

We kick-off Season 3 of Cultivated with Dr. Gregory Alan Thornbury, who stopped by to talk about his new book Why Should The Devil Have All the Good Music? a biography of singer/songwriter Larry Norman and exploration of the origins of Christian rock music. It’s a fascinating story that raises questions about both the role of the artist and the dangers of the Christian subculture.

Cultivated is a production of Harbor Media and Narrativo Group.

This episode was produced and mixed by Mike Cosper and edited by TJ Hester.

Our theme music is by Roman Candle, and other music was by Larry Norman himself.
