Book excerpt: Robert Berglund says a worship service is not a concert time. It is not an hour of entertainment. It is a time to worship God in spirit and in truth. In the Christian realm, however, the worship service seems to be a musical battleground. On one hand, church music is seen as utilitarian. Its only purpose is to allow worship to begin or continue throughout a church service. On the other hand, music can exist purely for entertainment. But is a worship service the place for entertainment? Shouldn't a worship service be designed only to worship God? A Philosophy of Church Music presents an integrated look at church music. Theological, philosophical, and psychological responses to the question of appropriate and consistent church music are considered to assist you in developing your personal church music philsophy. - Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to determine what music is acceptable to use in worshiping God. Since God created all things, including the formal properties of music (the nuts and bolts of music that make it what it is capable of being), what a musician does with these properties of music makes him responsible to the Creator. The author engages his extensive knowledge of the original meanings of ancient Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek musical terms to address the modern day "worship wars." He examines artistic underpinnings to modern music movements and consider multiple hot topics: -Is all music equal? -Does being "seeker sensitive" trump all other considerations? -Does God have an opinion on what music is used to worship Him? -Is it enough for music to be beautiful? -What makes for acceptable and unacceptable worship music? -Is all modern music to be rejected, or endorsed? -What is the proper priority for hymns, gospel songs, praise choruses and other sacred music? This is not a simple judgment of what is right or wrong, but rather a finely-honed tool to assess how one chooses music, and why.

Download or read book The Music of Jesus written by Mark Hijleh and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines four large questions: Do we need a theology of music? (And if so, why?) What is the place of art music ('classical' music) in a postmodern world? What are the characteristics of 'the music of Jesus'? How can this music be manifested in the Christian community? Each question is addressed on the basis of building a consistent Biblical worldview which includes adequate respect for the powerful force of music. Although the book focuses on the role of composers, its aim is to encourage serious musical examination, support, and action from within the entire evangelical Christian community, with an eye to affecting the culture at large. The author asserts that in the area of music the Church has become a cultural follower rather than a leader, adopting the dangerous postmodern tendency to define musical choices as matters of mere personal preference rather than seeking to define them on the basis of what God has revealed in the Word, by the Son, and through the Spirit. Specific suggestions are made by which the contemporary Christian community may resist such a tendency, even while building a dynamic, new, Christ-centered musical practice which can flourish in our postmodern world.

Book excerpt: This book is a philosophy of music for music educators, ministers of music, pastors, and parishioners who are involved in music ministry. I believe that there are absolutes concerning music ministry. I believe in profundity, appropriateness, and standards of correctness in church music. I believe that although there is room for taste in church music ministry, it is not all a matter of personal taste. I believe that since God thinks about music, we should study His Word to ascertain what He thinks about music.
Download or read book The Worship Pastor written by Zac M. Hicks and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern worship leaders are restless. They have inherited a model of leadership that equates leading worship with being a rock star. But leading worship is more than a performance, it's about shaping souls and making disciples. Every worship leader is really a pastor. The Worship Pastor is a practical and biblical introduction to this essential pastoral role. Filled with engaging, illustrative stories it is organized to address questions of theory and practice, striving to balance conversational accessibility with informed instruction. Part One presents a series of evocative "vignettes"--intriguing and descriptive titles and metaphors of who a Worship Pastor is and what he or she does. It shows the Worship Pastor as Church-Lover, Disciple Maker, Corporate Mystic, and Doxological Philosopher. Part Two covers specific roles related to ministry within the worship service itself--the Worship Pastor as Theological Dietician, Caregiver, Mortician, Emotional Shepherd, War General, Prophetic Guardian, Missional Historian, and Liturgical Architect. Part Three looks at ministry beyond the worship service--the Worship Pastor as Visionary Teacher, Evangelist, Artist Chaplain, and Team Leader. While some worship leaders are eager to embrace their pastoral role, many are lost and confused or lack the resources of time or money to figure out what this role looks like. Pastor Zac Hicks gives us a clear guide to leading worship, one that takes the pastoral call seriously.

Download or read book God s Song and Music s Meanings written by James Hawkey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking seriously the practice and not just the theory of music, this ground-breaking collection of essays establishes a new standard for the interdisciplinary conversation between theology, musicology, and liturgical studies. The public making of music in our society happens more often in the context of chapels, churches, and cathedrals than anywhere else. The command to sing and make music to God makes music an essential part of the DNA of Christian worship. The book’s three main parts address questions about the history, the performative contexts, and the nature of music. Its opening four chapters traces how accounts of music and its relation to God, the cosmos, and the human person have changed dramatically through Western history, from the patristic period through medieval, Reformation and modern times. A second section examines the role of music in worship, and asks what—if anything—makes a piece of music suitable for religious use. The final part of the book shows how the serious discussion of music opens onto considerations of time, tradition, ontology, anthropology, providence, and the nature of God. A pioneering set of explorations by a distinguished group of international scholars, this book will be of interest to anyone interested in Christianity’s long relationship with music, including those working in the fields of theology, musicology, and liturgical studies.
