Music, Hymns, and Canticles - Paperback

by Stephen J. Binz (Author)

In every stage of Israel's history and into the life of the church, music has played a central role. From the least to the greatest, the people of the Bible sang and played musical instruments, and music was woven into the fabric of their communal living and public worship. Many of these hymns and songs have been preserved for us in the Torah, prophets, gospels, and epistles. Choirs of voices, lyres and harps, strings and pipes, tambourines and dance all resonate in praise, remembering God's wondrous deeds and celebrating the feasts of God's people.
