It discusses undeveloped topics, methodological hints, and epistemological questions in the different areas of contemporary psychological sciences. The second section of the book presents concrete examples of case-studies and methodological issues (the new melodies in psychological research) to stimulate further explorations. The book aims to bring art back into psychology, to provide an understanding for the art of psychology. An Old Melody in a New Song will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in the fields of educational and developmental psychology, cultural psychology, history of ideas, aesthetics, and art-based research.

" Like Harry Potter, Melody Wheaton is an orphaned kid who doesn't fit in--not into her freezing Midwestern town or the even colder relatives she lives with. All she knows is that she's different, and that nobody liked her dead mother because she was Jewish (whatever that means). Only music and her best friend Zoe keep her going. But then life hits rock bottom. When a mysterious letter arrives out of the blue, Melody finally finds a way to answer some of her many questions, and a path to escape into a new world she finds often baffling and sometimes magical. In the process, she discovers a new family and her own true self. "

Even as worship wars in the church and music controversies in society at large continue to rage, many people do not realize that conflict over music goes back to the earliest Christians as they sought to live out the "new song" of their faith. In A New Song for an Old World Calvin Stapert challenges contemporary Christians to learn from the wisdom of the early church in the area of music. Stapert draws parallels between the pagan cultures of the early Christian era and our own multicultural realities, enabling readers to comprehend the musical ideas of early Christian thinkers, from Clement and Tertullian to John Chrysostom and Augustine. Stapert's expert treatment of the attitudes of the early church toward psalms and hymns on the one hand, and pagan music on the other, is ideal for scholars of early Christianity, church musicians, and all Christians seeking an ancient yet relevant perspective on music in their worship and lives today.
