Liturgy, Hymnody, and Pulpit Quarterly Book Review

Critical reviews (by Lutheran pastors and church musicians) of books and other resources for Christian worship, preaching, and church music from a perspective rooted in Holy Scripture, the Lutheran Confessions and good common sense. LHP Quarterly Book Review asks, "Is it worth the money to buy, the time to read, the shelf space to store, and the effort to teach?"

Martin Luther said:

"There have never been, nor are there now, too many good books."


Welcome to QBR!

Liturgy, Hymnody, and Pulpit began as a newsletter to pastors, musicians, and laypeople in the Wyoming District of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod from our Worship Chairman to ease the transition from The Lutheran Hymnal, Lutheran Worship, and Hymnal Supplement 98 to Lutheran Service Book. Early on, we recommended books, CDs, and music. Those recommendations eventually became book reviews.

In Advent 2006, LHP Quarterly Book Review was born. In our first three years, we published 600 pages of book reviews and reviews of other resources, sermons, articles, and editorials.

Our archives are still available as downloadable pdf files from our main site.

Beginning with Volume 4, LHP QBR switched to a blog format instead. To print our reviews, please note the pdf files in a section below.

Since adopting the blog format, we have been able to forward interesting posts from other blogs for your consideration and reflection.

With the beginning of Volume 6,
we intend to discontinue making pdf editions of this blog (unless there are overwhelming requests for them).

In response to an expressed need,
we now have two sub blogs that both feed into
Liturgy, Hymnody, and Pulpit Quarterly Book Review.

The content of http://LHPQBR.blogspot.com
should appear to remain the same.

Readers that wish to receive only our forwards
can now also go to http://lhpfwd.blogspot.com/.

Readers that wish to only receive
our original book and resource reviews
and be notified of new resources that we have received
may go to http://lhplbr.blogspot.com/,
the LHP Lutheran Book Review blog.
We DO plan to make pdf versions of LHP LBR.
