Here’s a very worthwhile product that I wish we carried. The Good Shepherd Institute of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, under the direction of Kantor Richard Resch has produced a fantastic DVD, entitled “Singing the Faith.”

This DVD is an historical documentary focusing on the rich history of Lutheran hymnody. Through music, interviews and narration, this 80-minute presentation helps the viewer discover the amazing treasury of Reformation music and worship. The production values are first rate, and it is evident that the producers spared no expense in its creation. It is viewable in four 20 minute segments, and comes with a 32 page teacher’s guide that makes it especially suitable for use in Sunday School or small groups. Check out the DVD here.

You may download a 12 minute overview video of the project here (requires QuickTime):

Small (13 Mb)
Medium (35 Mb)

Concordia Publishing House has exclusive distribution rights to this fine presentation, and you can find the links to purchase this resource at the links above. I really wish we could carry this marvelous piece of scholarship, but I am just glad that it’s available, and we are more than happy to promote it. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
