Saying the creed

Francis Schaeffer apparently describes a Princeton Theologian who said “I can say the creed as long as its sung.” This is the illegitimate idea that once something becomes art it no longer has to be true – or not really actually historically propositionally true. You can lie if its elevated poetry and a great tune, so they think.

How much better to sing the truth.
