All the Music of the Bible

An Exploration of Musical Expression in Scripture and in the Church. In All the Music of the Bible, Rev. Herbert Lockyer Jr. presents the songs, musical methods, and instruments employed by the people of God. His insights into biblical theology include musical analogies and cover the many functions of musical expression. Lockyer also reviews the music of the church from the New Testament through the Reformation. Illustrations of the musical instruments mentioned in the Bible, and descriptions of their sounds and uses in worship will whet the appetites of musicians, music-lovers, and Christians with a song in their hearts for all the music of the Bible. All the Music of the Bible is part of the classic “All” series books that have graced the shelves of pastors, students, and lay people for decades. This book continues the series’ tradition of offering a faithful and comprehensive treatment of biblical subjects. The Bible abounds in praise and reverberates with the music of heaven. Glance over its sacred pages, and you will find that its psalms outweigh its sighs. Passages speaking of war, suffering, sorrow, strife, fears, and of all that destroys the music of the soul are few in comparison with the multitude of references to praise, joy, singing, happiness, gladness, and peace. No matter where you turn in the Bible, melody predominates over misery and songs over sobs.
