註釋

This series of twelve essays sets forth in chronological fashion the teachings of the principal Protestant leaders on church music. What kind of music is best suited to the sanctuary? What kind of music is permitted by scripture? How much a part should music play in the service? How professionalized should church music be permitted to become? How large a repertory should be allowed? Rather than answer these questions himself, the author has turned to such writers as Luther, Calvin, Cranmer, Wesley, and Moody--and, in two supplemental essays, to twentieth-century Papal pronouncements on music and to the Jewish Union Hymnal. Other histories of church music have been written, but always with the viewpoint of the performing church musician stressed. This book will give pastors and religious workers as much insight into the history of sacred music as can be absorbed by the musical layman. It can be read with profit by Sunday school teachers, music committee members, religious education specialists, and by seminarians.
