Question about the Use of Music in Bible Teaching
Is it okay for Bible teachers to use music to set a mood?
In Scripture we find music an integral part of not only worship but also teaching. It tends to affect our spirit and so, if appropriately used, can not only set a mood but also point us to the Lord and what He has to teach us. Music engages our body but can also tap into our inner beings. The more we can engage the whole person, the greater will be the potential for not only learning but also retaining what’s learned.
You’ll find some additional thoughts about ways music can be used to set a “mood” or atmosphere, using some biblical examples, in the Bible Teacher’s Handbook of Frequently Asked Questions. That resource also responds to these questions about the use of music:
- What if I’m not musically inclined?
- What if students don’t want to sing?
The handbook covers 49 different topics related to Bible teaching, answering a total of 153 questions.
