Foundations of Christian Music

The book explores the auditory environment of first-century CE Judaism and early Christianity, highlighting the foundational role of this period in Christian liturgical music. It addresses the lack of scholarly attention by examining the text, styles, forms, performance, and settings of worship during this time. By doing so, it provides a rich perspective on the lyrical nature of early Christian worship and challenges the limitations of the Western concept of music in understanding this fluid auditory landscape.
