Presenting a blend of music, communications, and cross-cultural theory, The Sound of the Harvest examines music's pervasive role in the church and culture today. It also presents a multicultural and holistic outlook on this art form. Divided into two parts, the first part explores six major functions of music in the life of the Church: priest, prophet, proclaimer, healer, preacher and teacher. The second part explores the nature of the voice, song, instruments and the musicians of church communities. From the inception of the Christian church, music has played a key role in drawing individuals closer to God and creating a sense of unity. As denominations have emerged and the Gospel has spread across the world, music has served as a vital complement to preaching and teaching. The Sound of the Harvest provides a theoretical framework through a practical mix of stories, discussion, guidelines and study questions for those interested in expanding their understanding and ministry. Professional music ministers, worship leaders, church musicians, missionaries, pastors, and laypersons will strongly benefit from the insights contained in the book. In addition, the book is an important resource for those studying music ministry, cross-cultural missions, music missions, and communications.
