My Jams: Reflections on the Relationship between Music and Religion

Anthony B. Pinn

(Fortress Press)

The intersection of religion and music offers opportunity for a profound exploration of meaning-making. Musical lyrics create a rich narrative that reflects not only personal experiences but also broader cultural, social, and spiritual realities. Over the years, Anthony Pinn has explored this intersection, shaped by academic inquiry, personal reflection, and an evolving understanding of the world.

My Jams traces the evolving understanding of purposeful existence, exploring themes of manhood, social transformation, gender, culture, humanism, freedom, and mindfulness. Through these reflections, Anthony Pinn aims to illuminate the ways in which music serves as a catalyst for introspection, growth, and societal change. Pinn delves into the theological dimensions of music, examining its role in protest, Black religion, conversion, popular culture, demonology, and divine authority.

The book reflects Pinn’s engagement with the complex intersections of music, spirituality, and cultural identity, offering insights into the diverse ways in which music shapes our understanding of the sacred and the profane.

God Looks Like Jesus: A Renewed Approach to Understanding God

Gregory A. Boyd with M. Scott Boren

(Herald Press)

A grassroots global movement has people rediscovering a Jesus- looking God who is raising up a Jesus-looking people to transform the world in a unique, Jesus kind of way.

In this accessible introduction to understanding the character of God, author Gregory A. Boyd, with M. Scott Boren, lays out the radical truth at the heart of this movement: the conviction that God looks like Jesus. In other words, in the life, ministry, and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, we see the embodiment of God’s very essence—a love that is humble, other-oriented, and self-sacrificial.
This truth is the heart of the gospel. If we consider it deeply and live it out consistently, this truth carries the power to transform individuals, the church, and the world.

Open these pages to encounter the freedom of a God who looks like Jesus, and join a larger movement of the Spirit to reignite the church with Christ at its center.
