Territorial Bloggings

More good stuff…

From a recent column by UPI’s always informative Uwe Siemon-Netto:

Just in time for the new church year, which will begin this coming Sunday, the first Advent, the traditionalist party in America’s worship war has introduced a new gun against modernist insurgents.

This is a great article about the new 4-CD compendium of Luther’s musical compositions, from CPH. Anytime I can read an article written by Dr. Siemon-Netto, in which he writes about Luther and quotes Rev. Paul McCain, I’m a happy camper!

The Rev. Paul McCain, interim president of the publishing house, proposes comparing this light religious fare with the heavy-duty caliber of, say, “Dear Christians, One and All Rejoice,” the first congregational hymn Luther ever penned.

This paragraph alone makes me want to run right out & get the CD set! Music with theological heft & substance — no 7-11 “praise choruses” need apply!

I’m looking forward to getting a copy of this set soon, and I encourage you to pick one up as soon as you can.

Also, props to Beggars All, for bringing this to my attention.
