Toward
a Bible Based Theology of Music and Musicing
Abstract
This paper discusses the fundamental differences between a Bible based music philosophy and Bible based Music Theology. We will also discuss, from a Christian perspective, Bible Based Music Philosophy. This paper will define music theology and music philosophy. It is not a presentation of a music theology, but rather a suggested path toward the development of a Bible based music theology. It is also a discussion of what may and may not be used appropriately in a music theology and or a philosophy.
This discussion of music theology addresses Bible based music theology and such considerations as the importance of studying the mention of music and musicing in the Bible by utilizing methods like epistemology that will help one to draw more accurate informed conclusions. Other considerations include: understanding, limits of knowing, Divine will, First-order truth (true truth)*, reliability of Scripture, faith basis, and English translations. This paper draws eleven conclusions about Music Theology.
