This new book brings together fresh thinking and resources for reading aloud the Bible in groups and services. It encourages us to listen anew to scripture, one another and marginalised voices.

Long-term Engage Worship collaborator Sunil Chandy combines the worlds of church worship, Sound Art and theological thinking to offer unique ideas for engaging with the Bible. His experiences as a worship leader and lecturer in worship and creative arts inform a book that will both challenge and equip you.

This book invites you to explore questions such as:

  • What if we really listened to God’s Word and Spirit before we jumped to explain them?
  • How can we allow the Bible to be the noisy book that it is?
  • Are there ways to play and be creative in our readings?
  • What does the world of Sound Art have to offer in our reading aloud of Scripture?
  • How can we hear resonances across the Testaments, and the voices of hidden characters?

10 Bible Noise “scripts” are included, and also available as PDF and PowerPoint downloads, plus audio recordings of some of the pieces.
