Glory and Honor: The Music and Artistic Legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach worked at a crucial time in history. He combated the ideas of the Enlightenment with its elevation of human reason as the ultimate authority of everything. His struggles, musically and professionally, are those of a man seeking to maintain a high view of worship, academics, and the grounding of all life on the Word of God. As a man valiant in his convictions, he stood against the trends and fashions of the day and succeeded as a witness of the gospel to the generations who followed him.
