Linking music with emotion and spiritual life is crucially significant far believers. The book discusses the controversy involved in the use of contemporary Christian music in religious platforms in places like Ukhrul wherein the conventional hymnals are primarily in use. The author underscores the relevance of other genres to accommodate the musical preference of the youth in Christian worship.

Dr. Somingam Mawon, Assistant Professor, St. Joseph University Dimapur

Music is dynamic. It strengthens the lyries, emboldens the singer(s) and inspires the hearers and the listeners. Contemporary Christian music does so fittingly to the young soul. The author persuasively argues that no particular type of music is exhaustively holy and functional in worship. I expect that this book will immensely help the readers understand the contributions of contemporary Christian music in the church.

Rev. Mayonsing Moinao, Pastor, Tashar Baptist Church, Ukhrul

A critical Component of music is its theology. This book articulates a contextual music theology in the context of the Tribals of Norht East India, with special reference to the Tangkhuls of Ukhrul. It delves into the rich historical and contemporary music genres and brings out the significance of music in our contemporary Christian worship life, especially the youth of the day. I applaud Thanpam for his honest and convincing presentation and hope that this book will make an enormous contribution in the field of music.

Rev. Dr. Prof. Yangkahao Vashum, Eastern Theological College Jorhat
