Ethnodoxology is an application of ethnomusicology, ethnic arts studies, worship studies, missiology, and related disciplines. Those in this field study local musical traditions and work with local musicians and churches to adapt and develop locally created musical forms for Christian worship. Examples of such work include engaging a local praise singer in translating and singing Mary's Magnificat,〔Klaus Wedekind. 1975. "The praise singers." ''The Bible Translator'' 26: 245-47.〕 developing local hymns, leading people in creating localized forms of liturgy,〔Kedra Larsen. 2009. Bokyi and Yala Lutheran liturgy in song. MA thesis, Bethel University.〕 sharing examples of starting points for people interested in utilizing local arts but not knowing where to start.〔Michael Balonek. 2009. "You Can Use That in the Church?" Musical Contextualization and the Sinhala Church. MA Thesis, Bethel University. Also at: http://www.amazon.com/That-Church-Musical-Contextualization-Sinhala/dp/1463759061〕 A broad resource for those in the field is a pair of volumes: ''Worship and Mission for the Global Church: An Ethnodoxology Handbook''〔James Krabill, ed. 2013. William Carey Library.〕 and its how-to companion ''Creating Local Arts Together: A Manual to Help Communities Reach their Kingdom Goals''.〔Brian Schrag, ed. 2013. William Carey Library.〕 The ''International Council of Ethnodoxologists'' define ethnodoxology as; :''"the theological and anthropological study, and practical application, of how every culture group might use its unique and diverse artistic expressions appropriately to worship the God of the Bible."'' The term was coined by Dave Hall, a pioneer of the school of ethnodoxology and founder of ''Worship From The Nations''. Hall states; :''I define ethnodoxology as "the study of the worship of God among diverse cultures" or, more precisely, "the theological and practical study of how and why people of diverse cultures praise and glorify the true and living God as revealed in the Bible." The term finds its source in 2 Biblical Greek words. "Ethno," from the Greek word "ethne" meaning 'peoples' or 'people groups' and "doxology," from the Greek word "doxos" meaning 'glory' or 'praise. ==References== 〔 *International Council of Ethnodoxologists: (Definition of Ethnodoxology ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ethnodoxology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
