Music & Worship: Contemporary Issues

“Music and Worship: Contemporary Issues”, by Dr. Winston Hurlock presents a definitive perspective pertaining to the ever-present challenges and opportunities associated with differing perspectives on the question of what constitutes ideal forms of music and worship. This is particularly valuable in an effort to answer questions that often appear to be elusive, but Dr. Hurlock offers hope that by understanding a range of polar positions on this subject, it is possible to arrive at accommodations that acknowledge and respect differing views on forms or styles of praise music. The lesson of history seems to suggest that tensions are likely to persist within and between some congregations over differing or polar views on appropriate forms of music and worship. The author offers pragmatic suggestions to assist in resolving tensions or conflicts over worship forms that tend to arise, particularly influenced by multi-generational and multi-cultural preferences within religious communities.
