Why Johnny Can't Sing Psalms—What Does the Bible Say About That?
About this episode
Is singing the Psalms a biblical command, or just an old tradition? Kevin and Josh ask what "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" means...and why the Psalter all but disappeared from American church life over the last 250 years. From Hippolytus and Pliny the Younger to the Genevan Psalter, Luther, and the 19th-century hymn revivals, they trace how gospel songs and sentimentalism gradually displaced the Psalms...and why bringing them back is essential for the singing of the church.
