Exsultet pdf. Singing the True Story of the Whole World. Knowing how the Bible hangs together helps Christians join God in the drama of redemption. The new Lift Up Your Hearts hymnal helps worshipers sing the biblical meta-narrative. LUYH Hymnal Our culture trains us to seek knowledge by paying attention to ever-smaller things more quickly.

This break-it-down trend is not adding up to greater awareness of God at work in the world. “My own students couldn’t tell the story of the Bible or why it was important or how one lives in it,” Goheen said. Goheen and others say we need to understand and sing the biblical meta-narrative, so we can live faithfully without being “conformed to the world” (Romans 12:2). Meta-what? A meta-narrative is an overarching story that offers identity and meaning.
