Songwriting and Theology

1 credits · Divinity School

This course is an exploration of using theological training to develop songs for worship. This seminar-type course will explore various collections of classic, historical worship materials, including Wesleyan hymnody, to uncover profound theological themes and motifs and their expression in lyrical form. Students will be expected to show theological enrichment by composing lyrics for new worship songs to be shared with the class. Students will only be required to write lyrics, not compose music
