Philip Sheldrake, Julian of Norwich: ‘In God’s Sight’. Her Theology in Context

Abstract

son C. P. E. Bach noted -and Gant highlights -Bach only ever wanted music to speak on its own behalf, with glory to God.Gant -a church musician, singer, organist, choirmaster and composer -has produced a readily accessible gateway into Bach's life; it is well researched, drawing on a range of sources from manuscripts to personal correspondence. There is something for everyone in this book -the voyeur in the details of his life, the musicians in the musical analysis, the theologians in his drawing out of Bach's spirituality and the hints towards the theology of his music.
