Just like modern Christians do today, first century believers gathered together to pray, hear God’s Word, and worship Christ through song. But what were they singing? And what did it sound like? Today, we can begin to answer these questions thanks to the groundbreaking work behind a musical project breathing new life into The Odes of Solomon.
On today’s episode of the Great Stories Podcast by Haven Today, we take a deep dive into the songs and hymns of the early church. Dr. James Charlesworth, Dr. Hughes Oliphant Old, Dr. Lee Martin McDonald, and composer John Schreiner all join Charles Morris and David Wollen for a fascinating and informative podcast covering the incredible story behind the The Odes Project, which set these ancient hymns to music for the first time in 2,000 years.
The Odes Project
Songs of worship sung by the early church had previously been lost to history … until now!
A few decades after Jesus ascended into heaven, believers would meet together in houses and even catacombs to sing praises to God.
Now, for the first time in 2000 years, these songs from the early church have been discovered and finally put to music. The Odes Project is a CD of hymns that transcends the generations of Christianity and reaches down to the very roots of our faith.
Blending ancient and modern styles of music, this unique Christ-centered CD will powerfully lead you in worship and help you focus your heart on Jesus.
