Product Description
by Ben Hogan (Author)
Many books have been written about worship from either a theological perspective, or simply a musical perspective. This book beautifully succeeds in harmonizing both. Ben Hogan has spent over a decade in music ministry and biblical research that has enabled him to give the reader a delightful, easy-to-understand, and comprehensive book on what worship actually means and how music should play its integral part. Starting with the Word of God as its foundational context, Hogan then draws upon examples that God has left for us in Creation as well as church history in order to give the church a clear view of God's high calling for worship and specific calling for instrumental worship. While other books often defend an institutional position on what worship looks like in their denomination, this book addresses many viewpoints and helps to explain their merits or shortcomings. Modern music movements are also addressed, leaving no elephant in the room without a biblical critique. This book will be of great interest to anyone in the church who has struggled to put their finger on what a biblical theology of worship is and how it is properly worked out day to day. This book will be especially meaningful for those who partake in the inestimable privilege of leading God's people to sing God's praises in a way that is acceptable to Him.
