From the iPod to the car radio, from movie soundtracks to Muzak at
the shopping mall, from singing in the shower to the concert arena,
music is an unavoidable part of our lives. Not only is music
ubiquitous, it is powerful: creating moods, evoking memories and
images, uniting people, and providing an outlet of expression for
even the most tone deaf among us. Besides its prominent position in
culture, music has obviously had a key role in the worship of God's
people.
This well-rounded study examines the connections between music
and theology by engaging Scripture, musical history, and
contemporary culture and exploring how God's truth sounds and how
it might "re-sound" in the realm of music. "Resounding Truth" will
help readers develop discernment and wisdom, both for thinking
about music in the church and Christian life and for engaging with
one of culture's most influential touchstones.
"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
"Jeremy Begbie is musician/theologian par excellence. Whatever
music you enjoy and wherever you are on the journey of faith and
understanding, he will delight, surprise, challenge, and inspire
you. A wonderful book by a wonderful writer, thinker, and
musician." --N. T. Wright, Bishop of Durham
"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 thehistory 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, Yale University and
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." --John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian
Worship
"This book resounds with the thoughtful, dynamic, and always
engaging voice of Jeremy Begbie. 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, Wheaton College
