And Now Let's Move Into A Time Of Nonsense

How long before we see Your righteous hand? How long before Your name is lifted high? How long before the weeping turns to songs of joy? The problem of 'perspective' on sung worship in Page's book is that although he is excellent on detail, he doesn't take a step back and seek to examine the place of singing in worship at all.

He seems to accept the assumptions of those he critiques, that singing is the central activity that Christians will do when they meet together.

And Now Let's Move Into a Time of Nonsense : Why Worship Songs are Failing the Church

This perhaps shows that this book is a little dated, in that in the decade since Page wrote the book the so-called emergent churches have severely criticised the relevance of sung worship, and in some cases actually abandoned it. My contention, as I have blogged before, is that the NT churches were more focused on eating together being whereas we have become more focused on singing together doing. Page set himself the narrow target of examining the church music of today. His book would have greatly benefited from a broader analysis of the place of singing in worship altogether.

Despite those caveats, this book remains an intelligent, provocative read which would be usefully read by anyone involved in leading worship services, as well as anyone who wants to write truly worshipful songs. As a person who not infrequently looks at our worship songs and thinks We need books like this. I am glad to see that you have read and "enjoyed" this book. I got it for Christmas 2 years ago. I too have something of a problem with the idea "that singing is the central activity that Christians will do" when they meet together and the way a lot of Christians quote verses from the psalms about "singing and making music to the Lord" as I've always wondered, what do members of the congregation who are pretty rubbish singers feel?!!

I count myself as having a pretty good singing voice but personally I don't think a lot of the modern stuff by one certain artist favoured in our church lends itself to congregational worship anyway.

I'm not sure if it was intended to be "sung together". It is ok for the band to "do" but I don't really find that I can join in!

What is Kobo Super Points?

I ended up getting this book because all those months ago when we had thast discussion on here, you mentioned thebook and I dumped it on my amazon wish-list! Come on, name the unsingable song, name the writer!!!!! I stood with my mouth clamped shut the other week rather than sing 'I'm desperate for you Jesus" I have no idea what the song is or who wrote it though as I had never encountered it before. It was all about 'me' rather than all about a Great God, to my mind. Wednesday, January 07, Book Notes:
