Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship—Black and White, Protestant and Catholic—is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class. Servanthood of Song provides a historical context for trends in contemporary worship in the United States and suggests that the current polemical divisions between advocates of contemporary and traditional, classically oriented church music are both unnecessary and counterproductive. It also draws from history to show that, to be the powerful component of worship it can be, music—whatever the genre—must be viewed as a ministry with training appropriate to that. Servanthood of Song provides a critical resource for anyone considering a career in either musical or pastoral ministries in the American church as well as all who care passionately about vital and authentic worship for the church of today.

Come explore the remarkable 'Servant Songs' of Isaiah! Written prophetically around 700 years before being fulfilled, this Messianic poem celebrates the sacrificial life of the Lord Jesus, the faithful servant of God. The Success of the Servant will draw you into a deeper appreciation of the glories of Christ - the most rich and rewarding of studies. This book works to provide practical applications in the reader's lives. A suitably in-depth study into 'the Servant Songs' is made accessible through a clear writing style and helpful headings throughout. Isaiah means 'Salvation of Jehovah', and the theme of salvation pervades the entire book. The prophet exclaims, 'Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation' (Isa. 12:2-3). The final section of Isaiah is written as poetry, and has even been called by J. Sidlow Baxter, 'the greatest Messianic poem in the Bible'. Within these delightful chapters, we find the portions which have often been referred to as 'the Servant Songs', or 'poetic oracles'. Isaiah is singing in Chapter 5:1: 'Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved'. There could be no greater theme to sing of than the person who is presented by the prophet as 'the perfect Servant of Jehovah'. The Songs are a bountiful field in which to glean, with 'handfuls of purpose' in every line.

The songs are so clearly messianic it is not difficult to see their reference to the Lord Jesus Christ and their ultimate fulfillment in Him. Intertwined and developed in each of the four songs are two distinct ideas. The first is the servanthood of Christ; the second is His sovereignty.

Paul's reading of the Old Testament continues to witness to the significance of reading the Old Testament in a Christian way. This study argues that a theological approach to understanding Paul's appeal to and reading of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah, offers important insights into the ways in which Christians should read the Old Testament and a two-testament canon today. By way of example, this study explores the ways in which Isaiah 40-66's canonical form presents the gospel in miniature with its movement from Israel to Servant to servants. It is subsequently argued that Paul follows this literary movement in his own theological reflection in 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:10. Jesus takes on the unique role and identity of the Servant of Isaiah 40-55, and Paul takes on the role of the servants of the Servant in Isaiah 53-66. From this exegetical exploration conclusions are drawn in the final chapter that seek to apply a term from the history of interpretation to Paul's reading, that is, the plain sense of Scripture. What does an appeal to plain sense broker? And does Paul's reading of the Old Testament look anything like a plain sense reading? Gignilliat concludes that Paul is reading the Old Testament in such a way that the literal sense and its figural potential and capacity are not divorced but are actually organically linked in what can be termed a plain sense reading.
