Abstract
[Extract] In the complex world we live in, in which rock concerts can look and sound like major worship sessions and seem to feed the experience of "spirituality" of those who attend, this chapter explores that space: the frontier which is not only (or even) external, but that runs right through anyone who has faith and, therefore, knows doubt; who inhabits the world as a Christian, and is, therefore, "in this world, but not of this world" (John 17:16); who discovers in contemporary, secular (rock, pop, or indie) music a space or a place in which their Christian existence breathes, moves, dances and even thrives, precisely because it is "in between," on the boundary and frontier of the various dimensions of their lives.
