Soundscapes and Faith

Authors

  • Gilson Waldkoenig Town and Country Church Institute

Abstract

Soundscapes are the aural environments around us. Human noise increasingly mars natural soundscapes and inhibits listening. The biblical and Reformation teaching that faith comes through hearing confronts the contemporary challenge and invites us to perceive that the gospel of Jesus Christ echoes in and with God’s good creation.
