Reviews"A profound, rigorous, and original work. Very 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"Imagine a piano concerto: the dynamic soloist on the one hand, the great orchestra on the other, achieving together something more than the sum of their parts. Now imagine Music itself as the piano and the whole of Western culture, focused on Christian theology, as the orchestra. That might sound forbidding; but this book sparkles with so many tuneful insights, flashes with so much wit and anecdote, and resonates with such an exuberant joie de vivre that we are led inexorably forward by the surge of exposition, deeper and deeper into the rich harmony of life and faith. Jeremy Begbie is musician/theologian par excellence. Who else would bring together Bach and Boethius, McCartney and MacMillan, John Coltrane and John Zizioulas? Whatever music you enjoy and wherever you are on the journey of faith and understanding, Jeremy Begbie will delight, surprise, challenge, and inspire you. A wonderful book by a wonderful writer, thinker, and musician."--N. T. Wright, Bishop of Durham; author, Christian Origins and the Question of God series"This book resounds with the thoughtful, dynamic, and always engaging voice of Jeremy Begbie. At a time when Christian discussions of the arts begin and end with painting, poetry, and fiction, Resounding Truth strikes just the right note. Marked by a breathtaking range, driven by a creative vision, and packed with judicious insights, it will no doubt shape conversations about theology and the arts for years to come."--Roger Lundin, Blanchard Professor of English, Wheaton College"Jeremy Begbie has published a number of fine books in which he, as both a Christian theologian and a practicing musician, reflects on music; but this is his finest. It is theologically acute, deeply informed by both the history of music and the history of reflections on music, and throughout displays Begbie's wide-ranging engagement with music of many kinds from both the past and the present. A rich contribution!"--Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale University; senior fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture, University of Virginia"Jeremy Begbie's thinking emerges out of a fusion of the best musical thinking about theology and the best theological thinking about music. The resulting text is charged with energy and insight--and not just for musicians and theologians. This vital work is poised to energize and strengthen the entire Christian community for a way of life together that is marked by grace, truth, beauty, and genuine self-giving service."--John D. Witvliet, director, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship; associate professor of music and worship, Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary

Wonderful Book Indeed!
There's more here than one expected. This is a nice thorough covering of a very sensitive subject. For those of us who perform worship music we really must understand who we are worshiping and the gravity of getting our music right. There is acceptable worship and there is worship that misses the mark. This book is full of valuable information that any church musician or historian will find very useful. One wonders if any further research on this topic is necessary.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
