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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward A. Lippman?s writings on musical aesthetics comprise a wide variety of areas and employ both systematic and historical approaches, reflecting throughout his unrivaled knowledge of the philosophical literature on music and his deep understanding of the musical repertory. These essays span a broad range of subjects, from the ancients? sense of what music encompasses to the experience of rhythm in Anton Webern?s work. ø Lippman surveys the physical and physiological factors that condition musical perception, and he explores the effect of sung text in vocal music. In the more purely philosophical realm, he argues persuasively that music speaks in its own terms, not in any formalistic sense but through the symbolic meanings it conveys. ø The historically focused essays include investigations of the aesthetic thinking of Wagner and Schumann, an endeavor that leads Lippman to probe the sources and drives behind musical creativity. Elsewhere he explores the development of particular musical styles. The Philosophy and Aesthetics of Music draws upon both philosophy and musicology in demonstrating how the interpretation of music extends far beyond the scope of conventional theory and analysis.

In this category I include those whose musical concerns are more humanistic than technical, as well as those preparing for careers in music... In a library system of classification, Thinking About Music is apt to be filed under the heading "Music -- Aesthetics, history and problems of," and that is a fair description. " - Preface.

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.

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 third book in a series of successful introductory textbooks by Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen builds on their previous projects, The Drama of Scripture and Living at the Crossroads, to offer a comprehensive narrative of philosophical thought from a distinctly Christian perspective. After exploring the interaction among Scripture, worldview, theology, and philosophy, the authors tell the story of philosophy from ancient Greece through postmodern times, positioning the philosophers in their historical contexts and providing Christian critique along the way. The authors emphasize the Reformed philosophical tradition without neglecting other historical trajectories and show how philosophical thought relates to contemporary life.
