This booklet provides a clear and concise explanation of the purpose of hymns in worship, discusses the theological nature of church music, and provides criteria for hymns which are worthy of the church's voice.
Christiana said Husband loved it, it explains why contemparay worship music isn't. Husband loved it, it explains why contemparay worship music isn't bad, but a lot of the lyrics are to vague, have bad theology in them, or are difficult to sing as a group. Gives criteria for selecting appropriate hymns or even contemparay worship songs for Sunday service.. Singing Theology An accomplished and educated student of theology, a nicely worded book, explaining the merits of Lutheran hymns. Going back to church after an extended absence, this book made a nice transition to believing and trusting the words and songs put forth by the church. A shared joy by the congregation and an appreciation of the church choir, this book puts a much needed emphasis and explanation of God's work, through hymns, hymnals, the church and communities. Thank you to the author. An honor to meet Mr. Bird in person.. Clear and concise The author accomplished what he intended. To write a clear and concise book on why Lutheran hymnody should be treasured. This book should be in the narthex of every Lutheran church.
