Introduction -- Voluptates aurium : the pleasures of music in antiquity and the Middle Ages -- Optimum Dei donum : the essence of music -- Domina et gubernatrix affectuum humanorum : the power of music -- Joy (gaudium) and pleasure (voluptas) in Luther's theology -- Theology of beauty and the virtues of music.
Summary: "Lutheran theology is joyous spirituality, that fully appreciates the beauty of the world and is deeply affective by nature, cherishing the human emotions and imagination. This is the view that is opened by theology of music. Music was for Luther an excellent gift of God that was close to theology. This study examines the depths of this notion and attests the theological significance of pleasure, establishing also Luther as an aesthetic thinker"--Provided by publisher.
