Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christian musicians know of the obligation to make music as agents of God's grace. They make music graciously, whatever its kind or style, as ambassadors of Christ, showing love, humility, servanthood, meekness, victory, and good example . . . Music is freely made, by faith, as an act of worship, in direct response to the overflowing grace of God in Christ Jesus." Co-sponsored by the Christian College Coalition, this thought-provoking study of music-as-worship leads both students and experienced musicians to a better understanding of the connections between music making and Christian faith. "Christian music makers have to risk new ways of praising God. Their faith must convince them that however strange a new offering may be, it cannot out-reach, out-imagine, or overwhelm God. God remains God, ready to swoop down in the most wonderful way, amidst all of the flurry and mystery of newness and repetition, to touch souls and hearts, all because faith has been exercised and Christ's ways have been imitated. Meanwhile, a thousand tongues will never be enough." Best relates musical practice to a larger theology of creation and creativity, and explores new concepts of musical quality and excellence, musical unity, and the incorporation of music from other cultures into today's music.

Download or read book The Influence of Harold Best s Music Through the Eyes of Faith and Unceasing Worship on Select Worship Authors and Educators written by Elissa Hope Keck Hodge and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the impact of Harold Best’s Music through the Eyes of Faith (1993) and Unceasing Worship: Biblical Perspectives on Worship and the Arts (2003) on seven representative worship authors and educators. Through interviews and close examination of their writings, lectures, and philosophies, the impact of Best’s primary arguments is traced. His main positions are (1) that human creativity is rooted in the doctrines of common grace and the creation of humankind in the imago Dei, (2) that worship (which is either biblical or idolatrous) is an inherent activity of all humans, and (3) that music is amoral, a premise upon which he builds his advocacy of musical pluralism in worship and in the Christian life.Following the introduction to the research problem in chapter 1, chapter 2 presents an overview of the leading philosophies of music from both secular and Christian thinkers between 1940 and c. 1990 as a backdrop against which to view Best’s own philosophy of music, worship, and the arts. A survey of the evangelical worship landscape is offered in chapter 3, highlighting major changes in worship philosophy and praxis in the 1940s on through the 1990s. Chapter 4 contains a professional biography of Best, noting specific experiences that influenced the development and articulation of his thought, with reference to Nyack College, Wheaton College, the National Association of Schools of Music, colleagues, and his work as a composer.An exposition and critique of Best’s books is offered in chapter 5. Through interviews and close examination of their writings, chapter 6 traces the impact of Best’s books on seven representative worship authors and educators: Bob Kauflin, Barry Liesch, David Music, Michael Card, Mike Cosper, D. Clark Measels, and Joseph Crider. Chapter 7 concludes the dissertation summarizing the main areas of Best’s impact.
Download or read book Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry written by Kevin Mungons and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From tent revivals to radio and records with a gospel music innovator Homer Rodeheaver merged evangelical hymns and African American spirituals with popular music to create a potent gospel style. Kevin Mungons and Douglas Yeo examine his enormous influence on gospel music against the backdrop of Christian music history and Rodeheaver's impact as a cultural and business figure. Rodeheaver rose to fame as the trombone-playing song leader for evangelist Billy Sunday. As revivalism declined after World War I, Rodeheaver leveraged his place in America's newborn celebrity culture to start the first gospel record label and launch a nationwide radio program. His groundbreaking combination of hymnal publishing and recording technology helped define the early Christian music industry. In his later years, he influenced figures like Billy Graham and witnessed the music's split into southern gospel and black gospel. Clear-eyed and revealing, Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry is an overdue consideration of a pioneering figure in American music.

Download or read book Rembrandt Is in the Wind written by Russ Ramsey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do art and faith intersect? How does art help us see our own lives more clearly? What can we understand about God and humanity by looking at the lives of artists? Striving for beauty, art also reveals what is broken. It presents us with the tremendous struggles and longings common to the human experience. And it says a lot about our Creator too. Great works of art can speak to the soul in a unique way. Rembrandt Is in the Wind is an invitation to discover some of the world's most celebrated artists and works and how each of them illuminates something about God, people, and the purpose of life. Part art history, part biblical study, part philosophy, and part analysis of the human experience, this book is nonetheless all story. From Michelangelo to Vincent van Gogh to Edward Hopper, the lives of the artists in this book illustrate the struggle of living in this world and point to the beauty of the redemption available to us in Christ. Each story is different. Some conclude with resounding triumph while others end in struggle. But all of them raise important questions about humanity's hunger and capacity for glory, and all of them teach us to love and see beauty. "The artists featured in these pages—artists who devoted their lives and work to what is good, true, and beautiful—remind us that we can, and should, do the same." —Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well
