Did You Know Music WASN'T Originally Part of Worship? | Christian Book Insights

Apr 18, 2025    Caleb Ward

In this video, I share fascinating insights from "From Silence to Song: The Davidic Liturgical Revolution" by Peter J. Leithart that completely changed my understanding of worship.


Discover:

-The original Hebrew meaning of worship (and it had nothing to do with music!)

-How King David revolutionized the Levitical system by introducing music

-Why the Levites were commanded to "guard hearts" through music

-What this historical context means for our modern worship today

-How both silence and song can be forms of true sacrifice and surrender


This eye-opening book provides valuable historical context that will deepen your understanding of worship beyond just the Sunday morning experience. Though written from a Reformed perspective, its insights are valuable for Christians of all backgrounds.
