Bibliography

Jeremy S. Begbie, S. R. (Ed.). (2011). Resonant Witness: Conversations Between Music and Theology. Cambridge: Eerdmans.

This is a great book with some great quotes by Martin Luther about music.  It also discusses his views on music and how it can be used to communicate the word of God.  There was also a discussion about Luthers"s philosophy of music as a gift of creation, a gift that was created to appeal to our senses.

Luther, M. (2002;). An Invitation to the Writings of Martin Luther. (S. B. John F.Thornton, Ed.) New York, New York: Random House.

This is a good source because it has an entire chapter devoted to all of Luther's hymns that includes text and notation.  It also has some insights into the mind of Martin Luther, such as his preoccupation with the devil and how this theme made it into some of his hymns.

Marius, R. (1999). Martin Luther: The Christian Between God and Death . Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.

This book is very biographical and it also contains many discussions about the philosophy of Martin Luther.  It will be very helpful as I try to show how the life experiences of Luther contributed largely to his compositions.

Martin, M. (2004). Martin Luther. London: Viking Penguin.

This book is also very biographical and contains some great quotes by Luther.

Oettinger, R. (2003). Thomas Murner, Michael Stifel, and songs as polemic in the early reformation. Journal of Musicological Research , 22:1-2, 45-100.

This is a journal article that is actually a review of a book that I wasn't able to get a hold of, but the article itself contains a lot of information about how music was used in the Reformation.  It was not specifically about Luther, but it had a lot of information and discussion about him.

Saliers, D. (2007). Music and Theology. Nashville: Abingdon.

This contained quotes from Martin Luther about how music and theology are linked and how music should be used to communicate good theology,
