The Significance of Song & Singing
Speaker: James B. Jordan
In his Theses on Worship, James Jordan writes, “Praise…dictates something about our music….”
How important is music to the life of the Church? Does God give us any specifics about what to sing? What does the history of the Church teach us about music? Is style of music simply a matter of taste? If you have ever asked yourself these or similar questions, then please join us for the “Living as the Church Conference: The Significance of Song & Singing.” James Jordan will be answering questions such as these, while leading us to a deeper understanding of a biblical theology of music.
