The Christian practice of hymn singing, says renowned biblical
scholar Walter Brueggemann, is a countercultural act. It marks the
Christian community as different from an unforgiving and often
ungrateful culture. It is also, he adds, an "absurd enterprise in
the midst of the hyper-busy, market-driven society that surrounds
us. In this helpful and engaging volume, Brueggemann discusses both
why we sing and what we sing. The first part of the book examines
the Psalms and what they can teach us about the reasons that
corporate song is a part of the Christian tradition. The second
part looks at fifteen popular hymns, including classic and
contemporary ones such as Blest Be the Ties That Binds, God's Eye
Is on the Sparrow, Once to Every Man and Nation, Someone Asked the
Question, and We Are Marching in the Light of God, and the reasons
why they have caught our imagination. To know why we sing,
Brueggemann writes, may bring us to a deeper delight in our singing
and a strengthened resolve to sing without calculation before the
God who is enthroned on the praises of Israel (Ps. 22:3).
