Ep. 16 - of The Devolution of Music: From Medieval to Baroque

Matthew Arthur joins the show to discuss music and it's fall from being once written directly for God to now being written directly against Him. In this Part 1 of a 3 part series, we sample pieces from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras and discuss in depth the downward progress from godliness towards worldliness.
