WOR 6302 - A History of Worship Arts in the Church
3 credits
The history of the arts in worship—liturgical forms, music, architecture, symbolic gesture, and all artistic expressions of faith—records how the church has incarnated her dialogue with the God who became incarnate on her behalf. This course surveys the liturgical arts from biblical patterns and practices to the present day. A particular emphasis is given to how the arts have both reflected the interplay of theology and culture and also played a formative part in theology and culture.
