Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Offering a distinguished ramification of thoughts, this book investigates the subject of church psalmody and the use of human compositions in lieu of inspired songs in public worship. The author thoroughly dissects the history of psalmody, citing the opinions of early church fathers such as Pliny, Tertullian, and Origen, among others, and exploring the practice of psalmody in the ancient church. The book delves into the arguments for and against the use of human hymns, examining the theological, scriptural, and practical aspects of the debate. The author contends that the exclusive use of inspired psalms in public worship is not only supported by Scripture and tradition but also enhances the solemnity and spirituality of worship. This book's insights will prove invaluable to church leaders, musicians, and laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of the history, theology, and practice of psalmody in the Christian church.
