Andy Crouch’s article Let’s Do the Mash: The Who Boys, The Beastles, and the Bible from the most recent issue of Books & Culture may just be the most amazing thing I have read in a long time. Crouch moves from engaging suburban teenagers with their Walkman cassettes to the mashup phenomenon to Jeremy Begbie to Walsh & Keesmaat’s Colossians Remixed to the New Testament’s use of the Old as a midrashic mashup. Wow. This article left me breathless. Much to think about, as I’ve been in an ongoing discussion with some of my seminary friends over whether theology needs to be, or even can be, “contextualized.”
