Seventh-Day Adventists, Ellen G. White, and Salvation

(Part 1)

By: R. Van Orden

This book started out as an intense personal study by the author to evaluate and confirm his beliefs about God and salvation in regard to the teaching of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Why is it that so many Seventh-Day Adventists do not have the assurance of salvation? What criteria in the Bible and what specifically in Ellen G. White's writings might lead someone to believe they were not fit for heaven, that they did not qualify to be there, that God would not forgive them, and there was more required than just relying on Jesus's sacrifice to cover their sins? If they did not meet a strict set of rules, would God cast them aside in the end? In this book, you will find out just who are the saved, who are the lost, and what happens to them in the end and what end-times will look like according to Ellen G. White and the SDA Church. The author estimates he has spent well in excess of ten thousand hours and has read over fifteen thousand pages of material over a seven-year period in the preparation of this book. It is the author's hope and prayer that this book will make the reader question, not their belief in the saving grace of God and the loving sacrifice of Jesus but rather question anything that might have come between them and that grace.

Materialities

Books, Readers, and the Chanson in Sixteenth-century Europe

By: Kate Van Orden

Ephemeral, fragile, often left unbound, sixteenth-century songbooks led fleeting lives in the pockets of singers and on the music desks of instrumentalists. Constantly in action, they were forever being used up, replaced, or abandoned as ways of reading changed. As such they document the acts of early musicians and the practices of everyday life at the unseen margins of elite society. Materialities is a cultural history of song on the page. It addresses a series of central questions concerning the audiences for written music by concentrating on the first genre to be commercialized by music printers: the French chanson. Scholars have long stressed that chansons represent the most broadly disseminated polyphony of the sixteenth century, but Materialities is the first book to account for the cultural reach of the chanson across a considerable cross-section of European society. Musicologist Kate van Orden brings extensive primary research and new analytical models to bear in this remarkable history of songbooks, music literacy, and social transformation during the first century of music printing. By tracking chansons into private libraries and schoolrooms and putting chansonniers into dialogue with catechisms, civility manuals, and chapbooks, Materialities charts the social distribution of songbooks, the gradual moralization of song, and the ways children learned their letters and notes. Its fresh conclusions revise several common assumptions about the value early moderns attributed to printed music, the levels of literacy required to perform polyphony, and the way musicians did or did not "read" their songbooks. With musical perspectives that can invigorate studies of print culture and the history of reading, Materialities is an essential guide for musicologists working with original sources and historians of the book interested in the vocal performances that operated alongside print.

Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France

By: Kate van Orden

In this groundbreaking new study, Kate van Orden examines noble education in the arts to show how music contributed to cultural and social transformation in early modern French society. She constructs a fresh account of music's importance in promoting the absolutism that the French monarchy would fully embrace under Louis XIV, uncovering many hitherto unpublished ballets and royal ceremonial performances. The great pressure on French noblemen to take up the life of the warrior gave rise to bellicose art forms such as sword dances and equestrian ballets. Far from being construed as effeminizing, such combinations of music and the martial arts were at once refined and masculine-a perfect way to display military prowess. The incursion of music into riding schools and infantry drills contributed materially to disciplinary order, enabling the larger and more effective armies of the seventeenth century. This book is a history of the development of these musical spheres and how they brought forth new cultural priorities of civility, military discipline, and political harmony. Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France effectively illustrates the seminal role music played in mediating between the cultural spheres of letters and arms.

Music, Authorship, and the Book in the First Century of Print

By: Kate van Orden

What does it mean to author a piece of music? What transforms the performance scripts written down by musicians into authored books? In this fascinating cultural history of Western music’s adaptation to print, Kate van Orden looks at how musical authorship first developed through the medium of printing. When music printing began in the sixteenth century, publication did not always involve the composer: printers used the names of famous composers to market books that might include little or none of their music. Publishing sacred music could be career-building for a composer, while some types of popular song proved too light to support a reputation in print, no matter how quickly they sold. Van Orden addresses the complexities that arose for music and musicians in the burgeoning cultures of print, concluding that authoring books of polyphony gained only uneven cultural traction across a century in which composers were still first and foremost performers.
