Scriptural And Topical Indices To LBW - Paperback

by Paul E. Schuessler (Author), Thomas R. Bartsch (Author), David P. Rebeck (Author)

Users of Lutheran Book Of Worship have, since the new hymnal's issuance, felt the need for more comprehensive indices. This volume fills the gap. Part 1 includes an expanded listing of scripture references from all 66 canonical books that appear in hymn texts in LBW. The arrangement is by Bible books, with Genesis citations listed first. Part 2 includes a complete topical listing of themes and subjects suggested by the hymnody of LBW. Included are church and secular seasons, doctrinal themes, and emphases for specific worship of preaching cycles. Scriptural And Topical Indices To LBW will prove a valuable planning tool for those who preach, plan worship and music, or teach in a Lutheran school setting.
