Résumé :	In writing Music Through the Eyes of Faith, I have tried to keep two purposes before me at all times: to celebrate the uniqueness of music making as part of the larger world of human creativity, and to hold that music making is subordinate to, and informed by, the larger doctrines of creation, worship, offering, faith, grace, stewardship, redemptive witness, excelling, and love. This approach implies that music per se will not always be directly discussed -- it is both subject and object. Time will be spent outlining the essence of biblical paradigms of which music making is, for the Christian, a symptom, not a cause. This strategy is based on the idea that, just as God's creation or handiwork -- in all of its stunning variety -- is less than God and in submission to God's purposes, so human creativity, of which music is but one part, is in submission both to God and to its human makers. This approach allows for music both to be celebrated and kept in its place. - Introduction.
Note de contenu :	God's creation, human creativity, and music making -- What does music mean? -- Musical pluralism and diversity -- The aesthetics of musical pluralism -- Personal excellence, success, and competition -- General issues in musical quality -- The nature of worship, faith, grace, and music making -- The world of Christian popular music -- The practice of church music (I) : music and the worshiping church -- The practice of church music (II) : music and the witnessing church.
