Eps 710: The History of Christian Metal

By the late 1990s, the parish's workers felt that regular churches' attitudes towards metalheads, rockers and punks had become more permissive, and did not feel the need to keep Sanctuary going on any longer most of the parishes of Sanctuary were closed.
Moberg states that Christian metal serves four main purposes: an alternative form of religious expression and identity; as a legitimate form of religious expression; as an effective means of evangelism and fighting and standing up for the Christian faith; as a positive alternative to non-Christian metal.
Christian metal is created when Christians compose metal music in a way that reflects their faith in Christ.
