PHSS101--Syllabus

  Syllabus



"Psalms Hymns & Spiritual Songs" (PHSS-101)                              J. A. Basford
Ongoing Course                                                                                 bahzman@gmail.com
Prerequisites: desire to praise the Almighty, to teach and encourage in song, and to learn more about the songs we sing or should (not) sing.
Welcome to PHSS-101: "Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs".  I will be your instructor (should be read "commentator") for this ongoing course where we shall attempt to learn more about the songs we have in our hymnal(s), what they mean, and determine whether they are songs we need to continue to sing, to begin singing, or shouldn't sing at all.
Prime Directive: to let the Word of Christ richly dwell in us in all wisdom; teaching, admonishing, and speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing with grace and making melody in our hearts to the Lord (Eph 5:19; Col 3:16) in a decent and orderly manner (1Co 14:40).

A list of sub-courses:

- "Shall We Have 'Praise for the Lord'?": a look at the songs in Taylor Publications' Praise for the Lord with commentary (can also be found at phss101-pftl.blogspot.com)

- "Song Leading Conventions": a listing, observing, and evaluation of various methods of leading singing that are common, developing, or otherwise being espoused and determining their qualities as effective or even scriptural (songleading.blogspot.com/)
