Overview

No single word or image conveys the mystery of God; we need many images in lively conversation and even then, all our language cannot capture the fullness of the living God. In Sing Many Names, scholar and musician Zebulon Highben invites the reader into conversation with the abundant images for God in the Bible, dedicating each chapter to an image or group of related images. Drawing on his scholarship and using the ""Scriptural Images for God"" in All Creation Sings as an organizing principle, this book invites pastors and musicians, teachers and students, and all who sing to reflect more deeply on the song of the church across time and space. Several indexes are provided to assist the reader with the many hymns treated in the book: Scriptural Index, Source Index, Hymn Index by Chapter, and First Lines and Titles of Hymns. Consider using these resources alongside the ""Scriptural Images for God"" in All Creation Sings, Evangelical Lutheran Worship and Treasures Old and New: Images in the Lectionary. About the Author: Zebulon M. Highben is director of chapel music at Duke University Chapel and associate professor of the practice of church music at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina. An award-winning conductor, hymnwriter, and composer, he has published more than seventy compositions in the United States and Sweden and edited both the Augsburg Chorale Book (2017) and the Augsburg Motet Book (2013). Highben studied at Ohio State University, Luther Seminary, St. Olaf College, and Michigan State University. He is an ordained deacon in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
