“The six-member group Aslan, an established music ministry since 1971, took its name from a character in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia—a lion symbolic of Jesus Christ, the lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5). While the basic format of Aslan’s concert ministry is progressive rock, they also season their presentations with a variety of ballads, nostalgia, and light rock.” — Family Portrait, Maranatha! Music promotional booklet, 1977.

”Aslan’s purpose of spreading the gospel through music is strengthened by commitment to each other and matured by their six years ministering in every type of situation. Dynamically contemporary, they present the gospel with thought-provoking lyrics and powerful music. With hard-driving progressive rock ‘n’ roll, they pound out a challenging performance, not quickly forgotten.” — Cross Reference booking agency brochure, 1977.

“Aslan is a Christian rock group whose purpose is to present the gospel of Jesus Christ using the powerful medium of music... We have played [at a] variety of [venues], including churches, high schools, colleges, prisons, and parks. our ministry is especially designed to reach out to young people on their level. Since music has been such an important influence in our lives, we know it can be used as an effective tool to communicate God’s love... Our repertoire consists of many different musical styles, ranging from rock to [soft acoustic] songs, always giving full attention to the lyrical content. We sing about our own personal experiences, such as loneliness without Jesus; the joy we have found in Him; and the challenges we meet daily walking with our Lord. With the group members’ widely diversified backgrounds, we have many different thoughts to share. We remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit at our concerts, desiring to meet people’s needs in the way that He knows best.” — Aslan press kit, 1976.
