Contents 1 Evidently Profound 2 Critical of rock music

Many Christains are Rock Artist, and it doesn't even have to be Christain Rock. --68.90.234.113 16:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evidently Profound

I made a change from this:

"The change was evidently profound, as his first book, The Devil's Disciples (1985) was published the following year."

To this:

"His first book, The Devil's Disciples (1985) was published the following year. His story of rock-n-roll debauchery and subsequent conversion brought him to the attention of fundamentalist comic publisher Jack Chick. Chick Publications continues to distribute Godwin's books to this day, even though many have not been updated since the 1980s when they were originally written. The cartoon covers are also drawn very much in Chick's style."

It's not the editor's place to purport that the change was "evidently profound". The veracity of his conversion is to be thought out independently by the reader.

[edit] Critical of rock music

I changed the line saying he was "especially" critical of Christian rock. It now reads: "He is best known for his numerous books critical of both secular rock music and Christian rock music." He's extremely critical of both, but more critical of secular rock. He believes secular rock artists are nearly always in explicit allegiance to Satan, but would be more prone to believe Christian rock artists are simply being duped by Satan.
