He will sketch the nature and significance of the subject, the history of reflection, the current lines of inquiry, and his own contribution to the discussion.

Any study of the relationshps between music and religious belief must begin by acknowledging the power and yes, the mystery of music. Sung theology is praise and thankgiving, petitionary prayer, proclamation and narration of the mighty acts of God. Singing faith is the "cantus firmus of the whole Christian way of life. For all of this, there is still a difference between singing theological beliefs in hymns, anthems, and more extended musical forms, and. "A welcome addition to the literature of hymnody and church music." according to Oswaldo Cordova. This is a welcome piece for those of us that teach and practice the use of music in the church. It supplements the many extant works that study music and texts used in our communal worship. Highly recommended for anyone who cares for the musical tradition in our churches, be they professionals or learned amateurs.
