The purpose of this volume is to: (1) establish the importance of music--especially in Luther's early life, in his education in the schools, and in his life in the monastery--in shaping his understanding of the role of music in the Christian life; (2) show how Luther's developing understanding of music in Christian life and worship led him to a practical and many-faceted involvement in a variety of music's aspects; (3) bring into sharp relief several distinct paradigms, or patterns of thought, that dominated Luther's theological understanding of the role of music in the church's life and ministry.

Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed, yet music played a vital role in Luther's life -- and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. In Luther's Liturgical Music Robin Leaver comprehensively explores these connections. Replete with tables, figures, and musical examples, this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. Leaver's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies, but worship leaders, musicians, and others will also find it an invaluable, very readable resource.

The sweetness of music is something that has puzzled Christian theologians for centuries. In this study, Luther's theology of music is approached from the point of view of pleasure. It examines the significance of joy, beauty and pleasure in relationship with music and Luther's theology. The notion of music as the supreme gift of God requires also a discussion about the idea of 'gift'. Music opens up new perspectives into Luther's thinking. Luther has seldom been reckoned among aesthetic theologians. Nevertheless, Luther has a peculiar view on beauty, understanding faith as a kind of aesthetic contemplation.
