Discussion Prompt: Thinking about “Imagine”

John Lennon’s “Imagine” is considered by many to be one of the archetypical “Secular Hymns.” A secular hymn is a song that seems to address spiritual issues but without a spiritual center, i.e., seeking the Kingdom of God, but without God. After having listened to Lennon’s song, answer the following questions:

  • Why do you think this song speaks to so many people at such a deep level?
  • What is the “thesis” of this song? What is its main message?
  • In what ways, if any, is it possible for a Christian to appreciate or enjoy this song?

Within your answer in the initial post, include at least one direct quotation from the song “Imagine”; one direct quotation from Scripture; as well as at least two direct quotations from the assigned readings for this week in the textbooks (i.e., Understanding the Times and/or Hollywood Worldviews). To demonstrate the skill of collegiate-level writing, quotations should be woven into your answer’s naturally (rather than merely “stuck on” or listed).
