Sing Many Names: Scriptural Images for God in Hymnody<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No single word or image conveys the mystery of God; we need many images in lively conversation and even then, all our language cannot capture the fullness of the living God. In Sing Many Names<\/em>, scholar and musician Zebulon Highben invites the reader into conversation with the abundant images for God in the Bible, dedicating each chapter to an image or group of related images. Drawing on his scholarship and using the \u201cScriptural Images for God\u201d in All Creation Sings<\/em> as an organizing principle, this book invites pastors and musicians, teachers and students, and all who sing to reflect more deeply on the song of the church across time and space.<\/p>\n
