Worth the read!,

This review is from: Resonant Witness: Conversations between Music and Theology (Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Liturgical Studies) (Paperback)
Bringing Music and Theology into dialogue is a difficult challenge. Begbie's introduction describes the difficulty from the musician's side---there are difficulties [unfortunately undescribed] on the theological side that would add to the complexity even further. But with that having been noted, Begbie & Guthrie's contributions to this exploration are significant: Begbie's recognition of the embodiment of music as both music making and music listening is central, (or, quoting Small, "musicking" rather than "music"), the book's outline placing music in relation to the Cosmos, Culture, Theology, and Worship, and their gathering of interdenominatinal authors all make the book "worth the read."
I will be critical of various individual articles as you will, but beginning a contemporary discussion of this topic is well worth the criticism. Rev. Virgil C Funk President emeritus National Association of Pastoral Musicians. |
