Singing the Resurrection brings music to the foreground of Reformation studies, as author Erin Lambert explores song as a primary mode for the expression of belief among ordinary Europeans in the sixteenth century, for the embodiment of individual piety, and the creation of new communities of belief. Together, resurrection and song reveal how sixteenth-century Christians--from learned theologians to ordinary artisans, and Anabaptist martyrs to Reformed Christians facing exile--defined belief not merely as an assertion or affirmation but as a continuous, living practice. Thus these voices, raised in song, tell a story of the Reformation that reaches far beyond the transformation from one community of faith to many. With case studies drawn from each of the major confessions of the Reformation--Lutheran, Anabaptist, Reformed, and Catholic-- Singing the Resurrection reveals sixteenth-century belief in its full complexity.

Industry Reviews

"Lambertâs approach is ambitious and thought-provoking, and the examination of one theological concept certainly has potential to yield new insight." -- Matthew Laube, Early Music History "Singing the Resurrection is a generous-spirited book; the author handles the chosen material with respect and sensitivity throughout, in a work of sure-fotted scholarship that enriches our sense of the soundscape of the Reformation and of the audibility of belief." -- Michael O'Connor, Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Reforme "Lambert presents a clear picture of how the Reformation created the opportunity for all churches to re-evaluate what they believed and how they would worship ... Her examples and stories inform the narrative, creating a scholarly informative, and entertaining book." -- Nancy Saultz Radloff, Anglican and Episcopal History
