Schuller's critics complain about both his method and his message. Conservative theologians maintain that he is mass-marketing an ersatz, individual-centered gospel that glosses over the troublesome doctrine of sin. Mainstream clergy are disturbed by Schuller's zealous push for conversion and his carnival-barker style. "His success-oriented message," says Congregationalist Browne Barr, former dean of the San Francisco Presbyterian Seminary, "is a happy optimism; it sells nicely, but it is just very shallow...
Stryper is only one of dozens of groups preaching the same timeless message in new ways. They are all part of gospel, a musical category that also includes soul gospel and hymns.

This Southern scene crashes into a joyous celebration of gospel music. Three men in black run in different directions onto the stage against a flourescent red set. This section was undoubtedly one of the highest points of the entire performance. Each man's technique was perfect--they appeared to pose at the top of their jumps, and to complete remarkably difficult sequences of steps. Their speed was unmatched...
