Theology, Music and Time (Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'It would be difficult to overpraise this book ... it breaks new ground, it is both insightful and highly informed and it is written in a style devoid of the obscurity that often mars musicological reflection.' Gordon Graham, Scottish Journal of Theology
'A book that is wide-ranging, stimulating and full of insight.' Musical Times
' ... a delightful exploration of the relevance of music for a variety of theological themes ... Begbie has written an excellent book, illuminating both of music and theology. It offers a great deal of stimulation for others to explore a relatively little developed field.' Stephen Carr, Theology
Book Description
Theology, Music and Time shows ways in which music can deepen our understanding of the Christian God and his involvement with the world. Without assuming any specialist knowledge of music, the author explores rhythm, meter, resolution, repetition and improvisation, and through them opens up some of the central themes of the Christian faith--creation, salvation, eschatology, time and eternity, eucharist, election and ecclesiology. He shows that music can refresh theology, giving it new ways of coming to terms with God.
