Christian Songs and the Definition of Christianity
Question
Is there a halakhic problem with listening to songs about Jesus? Are songs with Christian characteristics permitted to listen to? And more generally, is Christianity considered idolatry?
Answer
Catholic Christianity, perhaps. If you listen to them as music for your own enjoyment, I don’t think there is any prohibition in that. If these are songs used for worship, then yes.
