A Biblical Theology Behind Music, Praise, and Worship

About the Book

In A Biblical Theology Behind Music, Praise, and Worship, author Dr. Mark Pearce offers a researched and in-depth look at music, praise, and worship from a Biblical point of view. Providing keen insight into this complex subject, it gives a new understanding and appreciation of the importance of music, praise, and worship for individuals and those working in a corporate worship setting. Using a host of scriptural examples, Pearce covers a wide range of subjects, including: • Lucifer and music from a Biblical perspective; • subliminal messages in music; • the meaning of praise and worship; • the role of music and dance within the church; • the symbolism of the tabernacle and the temple; • deciphering the Te’amim music notations in the Bible; • dealing with conflict resolution within the worship team; and • how colour and sound affect praise and worship. A study tool to use alongside the Bible, A Biblical Theology Behind Music, Praise, and Worship delves deep and presents wider Biblical understanding into music, praise, and worship. Pearce communicates that music is a powerful tool that affects the emotions of a listener, and he shares the importance of using it for the glory of God.
