Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming majority of Christian churches around the United States consider the use of musical instruments to be a necessary part of their weekly worship services, yet many do not understand the biblical basis for that practice. This book explores the biblical foundations of instrumental music in worship, organizing them into four pillars: the Psalms, Davidic worship, New Testament implied references, and the Book of Revelation. Instrumental Music in the church has provided a unique vitality in worship for centuries. Brian Hedrick has done a masterful job of illuminating the history and the biblical basis for instrumental music in worship. He has also offered wonderful insights that will challenge instrumentalists to use their talents more completely for the glory of God. This book is a "must read" for anyone involved in the use of instrumental music in worship. -Camp Kirkland, church music arranger and orchestrator Nashville, Tennessee

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TODAY A VARIETY OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS HOLD AN IMPORTANT PLACE IN WORSHIP IN MANY WORSHIP SERVICES. The result is that many have grown up under the assumption that the use of musical instruments in public worship is perfectly acceptable, even mandatory. Any worship service without them is viewed now as unusual at best or worse, out of accord with true worship. IT WASN'T ALWAYS THIS WAY. From New Testament times up until the last two hundred years, the overwhelming practice of Christian worship knew nothing of instrumental music. This booklet not only discusses the historical background surrounding musical instruments in worship but also a Biblical basis for that earlier tradition and practice. The author argues for a Biblical position regarding instrumental music that few have heard in recent times. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find anything in print that would even hint at suggesting this current practice should be questioned. In a day when instrumental worship has become center stage, so to speak, a return to the Bible to reexamine this important topic is needed. NOW MORE THAN EVER, CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO STUDY WITH FRESH EYES WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT CHRISTIAN WORSHIP.

Book excerpt: Does the Bible justify instrumental music for Christian worship?In 2006, advocates for the use of instrumental music in worship presented a three-part series titled "The Both/And Church," suggesting that people should read old texts in fresh, new ways. These advocates proposed that their understanding of biblical texts justifies instruments in church worship. Since that time, some churches have followed their lead.Ironically, this misreading of the relevant biblical texts is not new. The arguments made by these proponents are the arguments that have been made since the late 1800s among advocates of instrumental music in worship.Thomas Alexander answers these "new" arguments in a caring, biblical way in Music in Worship. He carefully evaluates each of the reasons given by "both/and church" proponents and shows that the facts about what God wants in worship have not changed - human attitudes have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the study of Christian liturgical music, the first three centuries of the Christian era are foundational. Seldom, however, does this period receive serious attention from scholars. One of the reasons for this oversight is the fluid auditory environment of this period, and the inadequacy of the Western concept of "music" to describe this environment. Foundations of Christian Music addresses this lacuna by exploring the auditory environment of first-century CE Judaism and emerging Christianity until the time of Constantine (d. 337). Through a consideration of the text, styles, forms, performance, and settings of Jewish and early Christian worship, Foundations offers an unusually rich perspective on the lyrical nature of emerging Christian worship.

Aegument Prom The Old Testament. In the Jewish dispensation God was pleased to proceed in accordance with the great principle which has been signalized, in regard to the introduction of instrumental music into the public worship of his people. He kept the ordering of this part of his formal and instituted worship in his own hands. There is positive proof that it was never made an element of that worship except by his express command. Without his warrant it was excluded; only with it was it employed. 1. Let us notice the operation of this principle with reference to the tabernacle-worship. Moses received the mode of constructing the tabernacle and the order of its worship by divine revelation. "See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount." It will be admitted that the instructions thus divinely given descended to the most minute details--the sort of fabrics and skins to be used, and their diverse colors, the pins, the ouches and the taches, the ablutions, the vestments and the actions of the officiating priests and Levites, the ingredients of the holy ointment and the incense, the parts, the arrangements, the instruments of worship, --to everything connected with the tabernacle these specific directions referred. Of course, if God had intended instrumental music to be employed, it would have been included in these particular directions; the instruments would have been specified for its performance, and regulations enjoined for its use. What, now, are the facts? No directions are given respecting instruments of music. Two instruments of sound are provided for, but they were of such a character as to make it impracticable to use them ordinarily as accompaniments of the voice in singing....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today Book Award Winner One of Worship Leader Magazine's Editor's Picks Current discussions about worship are often driven by pragmatics and personal preferences rather than by the teaching of Scripture. True worship, however, is our response to God's gracious revelation; in order to be acceptable to God, worship must be experienced on God's terms. Respected Old Testament scholar Daniel Block examines worship in the Bible, offering a comprehensive biblical foundation and illuminating Old Testament worship practices and principles. He develops a theology of worship that is consistent with the teachings of Scripture and is applicable for the church today. He also introduces readers to a wide range of issues related to worship. The book, illustrated with diagrams, charts, and pictures, will benefit professors and students in worship and Bible courses, pastors, and church leaders.
