The most beautiful piece

Perhaps the most beautiful piece of choral music is from Brahms’s A German Requiem.  This recording is particularly beautiful.

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth!
Meine Seele verlanget
und sehnet sich nach den Vorhöfen des Herrn;
mein Leib und Seele freuen sich in dem lebendigen Gott.
Wohl denen, die in deinem Hause wohnen,
die loben dich immerdar.
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen!

Psalm 84: 1,2 & 4

Translation

How lovely are your dwellings: Lord of hosts!
My soul desires and longs to enter into the courts of the Lord:
my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
they will always be praising thee.
How lovely are thy dwellings!

Edward Wolfe

Edward Wolfe has been a fan of Christian apologetics since his teenage years, when he began seriously to question the truth of the Bible and the reality of Jesus. About twenty years ago, he started noticing that Christian evidences roughly fell into five categories, the five featured on this website.
Although much of his professional life has been in Christian circles (12 years on the faculties of Pacific Christian College, now a part of Hope International University, and Manhattan Christian College and also 12 years at First Christian Church of Tempe), much of his professional life has been in public institutions (4 years at the University of Colorado and 19 years at Tempe Preparatory Academy).
His formal academic preparation has been in the field of music. His bachelor degree was in Church Music with a minor in Bible where he studied with Roger Koerner, Sue Magnusson, Russel Squire, and John Rowe; his master’s was in Choral Conducting where he studied with Howard Swan, Gordon Paine, and Roger Ardrey; and his doctorate was in Piano Performance, Pedagogy, and Literature, where he also studied group dynamics, humanistic psychology, and Gestalt theory with Guy Duckworth.
He and his wife Louise have four grown children and six grandchildren.
