Written with a blend of scholarly rigor and accessible prose, this handbook elucidates the significance of hymns within the Mennonite tradition, examining their role in worship and communal identity. Hostetler employs a narrative style enriched by hymnal inscriptions, footnotes, and hymn analyses, weaving together the rich tapestry of faith, melody, and cultural context that characterizes Mennonite spirituality. Lester Hostetler, a noted theologian and musicologist, has dedicated much of his academic career to the study of Anabaptist heritage and worship practices. His extensive background in hymnology and his deep roots in the Mennonite community inform his interpretations and insights, allowing him to articulate both the profound theological implications and the practical applications of these hymns in contemporary worship settings. This work reflects his personal commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of faith through music, rooted in the traditions of his upbringing. This handbook comes highly recommended for scholars, hymn enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersections of faith and music within the Anabaptist tradition. With its comprehensive approach and engaging style, it serves not only as an educational resource but also as a source of inspiration for worship leaders and congregants alike seeking to enrich their spiritual lives through hymns.

The Public Purpose of Art

Arlene Goldbard

We’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift, a radical change in worldview that will thrust art and culture onto center stage. What does that mean? How will the world be different? What is the rising spirit of the times and how is it being expressed in art? Arlene Goldbard says, “I have this overwhelming image of energy gathering force and taking shape.” She likens this force to a wave and says, “No one masterminds a wave, ordering all the drops of water into line. Many independent forces operate simultaneously – wind, gravity, disturbances of all kinds – and somehow, the wave mounts.” In this dialogue we explore this mounting force and what’s opposing this rolling tide.
