Are the Beatles a Christian Band? Were the Beatles a Christian band? Most people would point to John Lennon’s public statements about the church, the song “Imagine,” and the infamous “bigger than Jesus” quip and raise their eyebrows. But a recently-unearthed interview with Lennon from 1969 suggests that John Lennon and the Beatles weren’t as hostile to Christianity as it’s been thought.

    Peter Jones, Prof. of New Testament at Westminster, was a childhood friend of Lennon (they even played in a band together), I wonder what he would think of this story. We’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for any commentary he may offer on this.
