Five times a year the magazine Woman! This women's magazine is a publication of CGK Women. The issue for September and October is all about music.
Bible studies
In this issue, the first of a series of five Bible studies on music in the Bible. "Throughout the Word of God, sounds resound. Music matters in the service of Him." This episode is about music at key moments in Israel's history.
Another Bible study is on Psalm 37, a song about living well with the Lord. And then there is a Bible study on the lyrics sung in Handel's Messiah. The various excerpts can be listened to via QR codes.
Articles
Annelies de Ruijter talks about her viola da gamba and musician Hanna Rijken describes a musical journey along the Psalms. "The Geneva psalms were known and familiar to many, but how were the psalms actually sung in the centuries before the Reformation? And what forms of psalm singing are there actually?"
Also, a photo report of the last women's day, several columns and Caroline Eisma's story about her volunteer work at pastoral diaconal centre The Inn.
Tip: Read the magazine with a cup of coffee and a piece of nut butter cake. The recipe is on page 20.
