Christians Rocked Beyond Belief, in 1990
In 2010 some reacted with consternation after reports Christians had been to the circle claimed by pagans at the US Air Force Academy. As noted at the time, they failed to acknowledge the area known as the “LZ” had been used for Christian gatherings of one sort or another for some years before the pagans laid claim to the clearing.
It turns out Rock Beyond Belief — the name of the atheist counter-Christian event being held at Fort Bragg — has a Christian history, as well. The Christian music group Petra, named after the Greek word for “rock,” was one of the pioneering groups in the Christian music genre.
In 1990 they produced an album called Petra: Beyond Belief. As if predicting an association with the military, the album cover was graced by a photograph of an Air National Guard C-130.
The title track, Beyond Belief, is a call to Christians to do more than just “believe.”
