Prepping for my dissertation defense tomorrow I'll be reflecting here throughput the day on some of the contributions i think my dissertation is making to both the scholarly conversation and also for practitioners. Tune in!

A thread: 1/?

I argue that scholars have implicitly constructed Praise and Worship history as a "music-industrial" history that downplays the important ecclesial contexts and theological commitments that shaped P&W history (2/?)

Though the problem is evident in ethnomusicological literature, the problem stems from liturgical studies scholars who have neglected this important stream of history (3/?)

Notwithstanding the liturgical studies field's general bias against free church/evangelical/pentecostal forms of worship, we've paid for more attention to far less significant topics...(4/?)
