A Theological Index of Music for Worship

Doxology with Coffee and Bible

Compiled by Ken Puls

 

Listed below are some examples from my Theological Index of Music for Worship. The purpose of this Index is threefold:

  1. To explore the connection between music for worship and the study of theology
  2. To encourage pastors, musicians, and worship leaders to think theologically about music in worship
  3. To provide a resource for planning, selecting, and evaluating music in worship

The Index recommends psalm settings, hymns, and spiritual songs, listing them under related theological statements for each topic. Click on a topic below to see the songs arranged by theological statements.

Follow my blog for updates when additional topics and songs are added to the Index.
