Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Organ Question is a book that presents arguments for and against the use of the organ in public worship. It was written in 1856 by two authors, Dr. Ritchie and Dr. Porteous. The book is divided into two parts, with each author presenting their own perspective on the issue. Dr. Ritchie argues in favor of the use of the organ in worship, citing its ability to enhance the beauty and solemnity of religious services. He also argues that the organ can be used to express the emotions and feelings of the congregation, and that it has a long history of use in Christian worship. On the other hand, Dr. Porteous presents arguments against the use of the organ in worship. He argues that the organ is not mentioned in the Bible and that its use in worship is therefore not supported by scripture. He also argues that the organ is a distraction from the true purpose of worship, which is to focus on God and his message. The Organ Question provides a detailed exploration of this controversial issue, presenting both sides of the argument in a clear and accessible way. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of Christian worship.With An Introductory Notice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
