Excerpt from Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church
It will, no doubt, be said that the attempt to prove the unjustifiable employment of instrumental music in the public worship of the Church is schismatical, since the practice is now well-nigh universal; that it is trivial, inasmuch as it concerns a mere circumstantial in the services of religion; and that it is useless, as the ten deney which is resisted is 1nv1nclble, and is destined to triumph throughout Protestant Christendom. To all this one answer alone is offered, and it is sufficient, namely: that the attempt is grounded in truth. It in volves a contest for a mighty and all-comprehending principle, by opposmg one of the special forms in which it is now commonly transcended and violated. It is that principle, emphasized in the following re marks as scriptural and regulative, that lends impor tance to the discussion, and redeems it from the re proach of being narrow and trifling.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a theological debate that raged in the late 19th century, exploring the use of instrumental music in church worship. The author, deeply invested in this issue, presents a comprehensive argument against the practice, drawing upon biblical interpretations and historical context. He emphasizes the importance of divine warrant for every aspect of church practice, arguing that any elements not explicitly commanded by scripture are forbidden. Examining the Old Testament, the author traces the evolution of worship practices, highlighting how instrumental music was only introduced into the temple service after receiving a specific divine directive. He further points out the absence of such music in synagogue worship, suggesting that the principle of divine authority remained consistent. The author's exploration of the historical development of church practices and his unwavering commitment to biblical interpretation make this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of church worship.
