@emma-starr I’m afraid I’m gonna repeat a lot of the same answers these other peeps have said… sounds like you’re getting a lot of the same opinions, but oh well, here are mine and I’ll try to keep them short. 😛

1. “Should?” Not necessarily a required or needed thing, but I don’t think they straight up shouldn’t, and I think that it is a good thing to do. It’s important to understand other people and art. Christians should not avoid art produced or created by secular artists any more than they should avoid the secular people themselves. It’s not what we are commanded to do. And honestly if the question is more about the “cleanliness” of the work – there are many works by secular artists that are cleaner than works by some Christians. Obviously there are some things that are hard to give blanket statements over. I’m not going to give certain books to kids but I would suggest to older or more mature teenagers. And then there are some I wouldn’t give to anyone at all. So no to that blanket statement Christians should read secular work, but no blanket statement that they shouldn’t either.

2. Same way they should approach anything else haha.

3. ^ what Taylor said ^

4. Yes, I do.
