Synopsis

From the iPod to the car radio, from film soundtracks to piped-in sounds at the shopping centre, from singing in the shower to the concert hall, music in an undeniable part of our lives. Not only is music ubiquitous, it is powerful - creating moods, evoking memories and images, uniting people, and providing an outlet for expression for even the most tone deaf among us. Besides its prominent position in culture, music has obviously had a key role in the worship of God's people, and such a pervasive and universal influence deserves informed theological reflection. This well-rounded study examines the connections between music and theology by engaging Scripture, musical history, and contemporary culture.
