Abstract

Encountering God through the power of sung theology has existed since the beginning of human history. In fact, the Bible records how prominent 'song' was during the days of the Hebrews, as well as in the early years of the Christian church. This report briefly explores how sung theology was used in the Bible, how theologians over the centuries debated its use, how sung theology has come to be used in the post-modern church, and, specifically, how it is practiced in two very different congregational settings. The model for this project is the case study in which both congregations have been carefully analyzed by the author and in which the pastors and members of both congregations have had the opportunity to express their own thoughts through the means of surveys and congregations. The project concludes with a call to all seminaries to consider offering worship music courses for those who are going into parish ministry.
