Worship in Song: A Biblical Philosophy of Music and Worship |
|
|
“Few books have been written that carefully distinguish between secular music that we listen to every day, and sacred music,” Scott Aniol says. “After discussing some foundational matters, the first section considers how to make God-pleasing choices regarding the secular music we listen to, and the second deals more narrowly with sacred music.”
Contending that much of the confusion about the music issue is primarily a theological misunderstanding, Aniol discusses such issues as what does Sola Scriptura really mean?, the nature of biblical affections, the essence of biblical worship, and the purpose of music in the church. Cultural issues discussed include meaning in music, the nature of pop culture, and different kinds of emotion.
Each chapter concludes with aids for discussion so that the book may be used in small groups and classrooms. Further resources are available at www.worshipinsongbook.com or at the website for Aniol’s music and consulting ministry, www.religiousaffections.org.

Worship: The Golden Thread |
|
|
Worship: The Golden Thread is a masterful exposition of scriptural teaching on worship along with examples from real-life, including Triplehorn’s work in Brazil and his use of marriage as a metaphor.
In the preface, Triplehorn says, “The Scriptures are a history of God’s relationship with man through worship. Worship is the underlying theme of every page and the glue that ties its long history together.” It is the key, he says, that unlocks both the meaning of the Bible and also the foundation of God’s redemptive plan.
For use as a small group or study text, the book contains “Where to Start” suggestions and questions after each chapter. After discussing misconceptions about worship, Triplehorn reveals in successive chapters worship in truth, worship as a choice, and the transforming power of worship. The second part of the book focuses on the place of worship in the areas of evangelism, discipleship, and leadership in the church.

In The Prophecies of Daniel, Strauss has written an engaging and
informative commentary quite applicable in this day when there is great
curiosity about future events and what the Bible says about them. Both
these books will be helpful either to the preaching pastor or to the
serious lay Bible student who wishes a better understanding of biblical
prophecy.

The Book of the Revelation |
|
|
The Book of the Revelation contains outlined studies of the last book of the Bible. In his introduction, Strauss says, “Genesis is the book of commencement; Revelation is the book of consummation.”
The author identifies three distinct systems of interpretation of Revelation—The Preterist School, The Presentist School, and The Prophetic School. Subscribing to the latter, Strauss holds that the largest part of the Book of Revelation is prophetic, and thus it applies to a period still future.

This challenging but easy-to-read handbook helps Christians better understand what it means to walk as Jesus did.
