Book Description
Martin Luther, noting music’s role in worship, once commented that “he who sings prays twice.” Serving as a vital complement to preaching and teaching – and, in a sense, preaching and teaching through it’s own medium – music has helped to characterize Christian denominations and spread the gospel to the far corners of the globe.
Presenting an integrative blend of music, communications, and missions theory, The Sound of the Harvest examines music’s role in the church and culture today, and also presents a multicultural outlook on this art form.
J. Nathan Corbitt, professor of communications and music at Eastern College, spent eleven years working in Africa in cross-cultural communications and music.
