Resounding Truth by Jeremy S Begbie

Resounding Truth by Jeremy S Begbie

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.

A profound, rigorous, and original workVery few new books in theology or religious studies show this level of freshness and imagination. I hope it will be a landmark essay in this crucial field of reflection on theology and the creative arts. - Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
