Assignment:

1 - What is your understanding of the expression Making and Listening to Music in God's World?

In reflecting on the role and status of music in a Christian ecology, that is, in creation, a world made and given and upheld by God, Jeremy Begbie poses the challenge of the Great Tradition to us ( Begbie, Jeremy. 2007. Resounding Truth, p. 187).

2 - Based on your understanding, to what extent is music grounded in or obliged to be faithful to a world we did not make, a world that we did not fashion but that is in some sense given to us?"

3- How does Begbie proceed in answering this question over the final section of his book Resounding Truth (Part 3), in the beginning, not with the modern era, which asks, "How shall I shape the world?"

4 - With the more ancient and biblical approach, which considers first "how God's shaping of the world might shape our own"?

5 - After summarizing Begbie's response to the question, evaluate its strengths and any potential weaknesses or blind spots. How might you augment his answer according to your present perspective on the proper location of music in a Christian ecology as Begbie sketches it, and why?
