Work & Grace: The Spiritual Music of Joh...

TIM KELLER
About this episode

What can the music of John Coltrane tell us about the relationship of  art to God, and of our own work in general to God?

We can all learn quite a lot from Coltrane, actually. And what we can see in his approach to his music applies not just to musicians and artists, but to us all.

In this open forum, 1) Tim Keller shares two things we can learn from Coltrane, 2) John Patitucci, a jazz bassist and composer, discusses Coltrane’s music, and 3) Keller and Patitucci hold a question-and-answer time with their audience.

This talk was given by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 9, 2007. Series: Redeemer Open Forums. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:17-26.

Discovering the Gospel
You can’t talk publicly about Christianity unless at some point you get down to say, “Well, what is it?” There’s great consensus that 1 Corinthians was written just 20 years after the death of Jesus Christ. So when Paul says he’s summarizing the message the Corinthians heard and ... Show More
