Singing's Gone Global by Steve H Hakes
This book, written in an engaging style, led to the creation of www.lyricology.eu. Singing's Gone Global briefly explores the background of singing, before moving to ancient Israel. From there, it examines the impact songs have on those who sing, and on those who listen (spiritual warfare?). It looks at the ridiculous, how nonsense songs make neither sense to evangelism, nor to the evangelized, and asks, is there a m mak in the room?Part of the problem is caused by misunderstanding prayer. Part two covers the basics of the trinity, focusing on the spirit in order to understand types of prayer (eg request, gratitude, adoration, chat), leading in turn to a better understanding of our father, our brother, and ourselves in Christ's likeness.Part three focuses on 13 problems, blemishes, within existing songs (eg buddyism, decontextualising, misvisualisation, unitarianism). The hope is that by diagnosing them, the 'bride of Christ' can be better treated by biblical songs and so become the healthier (Eph.5:18-30).Part four examines some specific songs, giving them a BAG (Blemish Avoidance Grade) rating: in this sample the best scores a C, and the worst a sad E. This prism is something of a new feature. Weapons forged (Part three), the m makils can be attacked, praying in the spirit that we may be saved and may save. The book concludes with some examples of how Christmas carols may be tweaked to better serve our world, rejoicing that joy has come to it.
