Sound Theology, a Reader

Preaching & Worship

“In Sound Theology, a Reader, Dr. Engle has provided direct access into the fascinating intersection of theology, worship, and lived religious experience. As so many worshippers today are aware, issues of worship are never simple, and Engle shows how the role of the organ became a robust point of debate from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Helpfully, Engle has included a vast array of sources, including crucial figures, such as Rivet and Voetius, as well as lesser-known sources, such as letters from church and city councils. With helpful introductions and footnotes, readers will enter the organ debates of the early modern period and be prompted to reflect on their own theological priorities, convictions regarding worship, and experiences with church music.”
