Christian scholars of music recorded
in the Bible need to be aware of the fact that Jewish music historians have
continuously concerned themselves with serious study of musicing in ancient Israel. If anyone has knowledge concerning musicing
during the time that the Old Testament was written, it is most probably Jewish
historians. Also there was a span of
nearly 100 years between Sir John Stainer’s Music in the Bible (1914)
and my book Music of the Bible in Christian perspective (1995). This fact attests to the sad reality that
protestant writers have not concerned themselves much with serious study of
music in the Bible in the past century.
