{"product_id":"9781481322980","title":"Singing Theology from the Ground: Indigenous Hymnody and Global Christianity","description":"From indigenous songs composed for churches in China, to Arab Christians doing theology through their hymnody, and believers crafting praise in African local languages, \u003ci\u003eSinging Theology from the Ground: Indigenous Hymnody and Global Christianity \u003c\/i\u003eexplores indigenous and Global South Christian worship music as a creative force in theology and missiology. Grounded in rich cultural resources, these voices challenge Western paradigms and offer new ways of thinking about Christian worship as primary theology. Informed by biblical visions of inclusive worship, postcolonial scholarship, and ethnographic studies, the collection amplifies voices from the margins to demonstrate how music embodies \"knowing-with\" through affective, communal, and culturally embedded practices. Across diverse regional case studies, contributors show how indigenous songs articulate lived theologies, decolonize mission and worship, negotiate identity amid migration and transnational flows, and foster mutual enrichment within the global church. By attending to music as a creative epistemology, the volume argues that these grounded, polyvocal expressions offer essential insights for reshaping contemporary theology, missiology and spiritual formation for a more inclusive vision of Christian unity and maturity.","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48239785378033,"sku":"9781481322980","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781481322980_p0.jpg?v=1780367518","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481322980","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
