book - In the mid-20th century singing was a joyful and sustaining expression of faith – and the words we sang were powerful. This new book by Dr Judith Raftery explores the history and meaning behind the lyrics. Written with real warmth and a depth of scholarly understanding borne of years of study, Singing the Faith sheds light on Churches of Christ’s thought and practice. The 6-part study guide encourages readers to reflect on the words we sing and the role of singing in our faith lives – no matter what our style of music. |
