Voices of Resistance by Amanda C. Miller

How music and poetry proclaim God’s justice and love.

Voices of Resistance invites you to discover the powerful ways music and poetry give voice to the hopes, struggles, and faith of God’s people across the ages. From ancient hymns of worship and lament to stirring proclamations of justice and love, this study uncovers how biblical songs continue to speak to us.

Through Deborah’s and Hannah’s songs, Mary’s Magnificat, the laments of Jeremiah, the Psalms, the Christ hymn in Philippians, and the visions of worship in Revelation, you will hear the voices of our ancestors in faith and consider how their witness still calls us to live with courage and compassion. With keen insights into biblical history and a progressive vision that explores the dynamics of race, gender, and marginalization, Voices of Resistance shows how this legacy of music, poetry, and community offers strength for the church and the world we seek to build today.

Other components of the study include a Leader Guide and video teaching sessions, making Voices of Resistance a rich and adaptable study for small groups, congregations, and personal reflection.
