Abstract

‘Biblo-musical' approach to music therapy is the biblical, spiritual approach to music therapy. It is well-known that music therapy is not a new field or genre. There are various ways by which music can be used in the lives of human beings. This paper seeks to focus on the spiritual, biblical dimension of music therapy, using Saul and David (1Sam. 16:13-23) as a case study.


The paper will give some definitions of terms in the introduction. It will also look into the current trend of music therapy, especially in the church, with some practical examples. Third, the paper will look into the case of Saul and David and deduce some issues as implications for the church today. There are some spiritual principles in Saul and David's biblical case that the contemporary church can apply to make music therapy in church music more impactful and more effective.
