Jazz has been called the only distinctively American art form. Theologian and musician William Edgar notes that jubilation and beauty of jazz bears witness to a joyful reality of the Christian experience: That while sin leads to death, the Gospel leads to life. Dr. William Edgar is professor of apologetics and coordinator of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His latest book is A Supreme Love: The Music of Jazz and the Hope of the Gospel.
