The Beauty of Holiness | Michael P. V. Barrett

Michael P. V. Barrett. The Beauty of Holiness: A Guide to Biblical Worship. Ambassador, 2006. 285 pp.

Should the congregation find the words to hymns in hardback hymnals or the words to choruses projected on a screen? Should soloists sing to recorded music with microphone in hand or to organ accompaniment with arms passively at the side? Should the congregation applaud or whisper “amen” when blessed? Should drums and guitars be allowed in church? Should music styles reflect changing cultural models, or are some melodies and rhythms inherently inappropriate for worship? These are tough questions with answers that almost always fail to convince or change the other side.
