Sinopsis

In "Divine Songs," Isaac Watts presents a collection of hymns that masterfully intertwine theology and poetic expression. Written in the early 18th century, this anthology employs simple yet profound language, making complex religious themes accessible to children and new believers alike. The songs serve both an educational and devotional purpose, instilling biblical truths and moral virtues in a manner that encourages active participation in worship. Watts'Äô innovative use of meter and rhyme showcases his dedication to the aesthetic qualities of hymnody, paving the way for future generations of hymn writers and asserting the legitimacy of emotional engagement in religious expression. Isaac Watts, often hailed as the 'father of English hymnody,' was profoundly influenced by the Puritan tradition and his commitment to scriptural integrity. His upbringing in a Nonconformist household instilled in him a deep sense of piety and a desire to reform the worship practices of his time. Watts believed that music could enhance spiritual understanding and personal devotion, driving him to create hymns that could resonate with the hearts and minds of the faithful. 'ÄúDivine Songs'Äù is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and art. It serves as a vital resource for both personal reflection and congregational worship, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a transformative experience of praise and theology.

    The Walter Brueggemann Library brings together the wide-ranging and enlivening thought of popular biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann over his storied career. Each volume collects previously published work on a biblical theme that has deeply informed Brueggemann's scholarship. 
     
     
     
    In Our Hearts Wait, Brueggemann meditates on the emotional range of our longings and gratitudes in the psalms, revealing how this bold outpouring of our full selves to the divine has effects far beyond introspection. He traces how the language of the psalms offers a template for liturgies that shape not only our collective worship and communities, but the worlds they create and sustain. 
     
     
     
    Throughout this exploration of the psalms, Brueggemann shows listeners how the language we use in worship performs what it proclaims. It nurtures and challenges us in seasons of orientation and praise, disorientation and grief, reorientation, and thanksgiving—bringing our full attention to each experience in its turn. But in doing so, the words and deeds of worship can also sharpen our awareness of social constructions and relationships that undergird our common life. They reveal power imbalances and uneven distributions of resources, and, if we let them, urge us forward in our efforts toward justice.

    God created us in his image. This places a great burden on each person to not break that image of God within us. God thinks in symbols and so do we. There is always punishment for broken symbolism. Questions considered are, what does God think about: Gender, marriage, sex, the Cross as broken, not fulfilled symbolism? Why did God punish Moses so harshly when he struck the Rock in the wilderness the second time? Why is God allowing seemingly innocent victims to die by random shooters? Why does God see the climate change movement as idolatry? Why did Satan devise homosexuality? Why did God assign the death penalty for male but not female homosexuality? Why is having multiple wives acceptable in the Old Testament, but not having multiple husbands? All these topics, and many others, have to do with symbolism and are explained by How God Thinks.
