This edited collection explores the 500-year tradition of Lutheran hymnal production, illustrating how these books have influenced Lutheran faith and worship practice over time ... Read more

    by Markus Rathey ...
    In the last decades of the 17th century, the feast of Christmas in Lutheran Germany underwent a major transformation when theologians and local governments waged an early modern "war on Christmas," discouraging riotous pageants and carnivalesque rituals in favor of more personal and internalized expressions of piety.

  • Bach in the World

    Music, Society, and Representation in Bach's Cantatas

    by Markus Rathey ...
    Johann Sebastian Bach's works are often classified as either sacred or secular. While this distinction is fraught, it seems to provide a useful way to distinguish between Bach's vocal works for the liturgy and those he wrote to honor courts and members of the nobility. But even so, the lines cannot be drawn clearly. The political and social systems of the time relied on religion as an ideological ... Read more

    Struggles for Freedom

    Edited by Jeremy Begbie, Daniel K L Chua, Markus Rathey ...
    Theology, Music, and Modernity addresses the question: how can the study of music contribute to a theological reading of modernity?

    by Robin A. Leaver, Rebecca Cypess, Joyce L Irwin, Mark A. Noll, Markus Rathey, Derek Stauff, Janice B. Stockigt ...
    Series series Bach Perspectives
    Johann Sebastian Bach was a Lutheran and much of his music was for Lutheran liturgical worship. As these insightful essays in the twelfth volume of Bach Perspectives demonstrate, he was also influenced by--and in turn influenced--different expressions of religious belief. The vocal music, especially the Christmas Oratorio, owes much to medieval Catholic mysticism, and the evolution of the B minor ... Read more
