A música e a adoração a Deus na Igreja Evangélica Assembleia de Deus

Abstract

The theme of this thesis is music as a form of praising and adoring God in the context of the Assembly of God Evangelical Church. The main goal is to analyze how music is used in the adoration of God in the Assembly of God. Through bibliographic research, one briefly contextualizes the history of the Assembly of God and its characteristics of orality and music. The tension between the tradition and the modernization of the Assembly of God causes one to reflect about music in the church, in the worship liturgy and, as ministry, in the activities in other spaces. Given the importance of music in the adoration and praise of God, one verifies, through the Project “Builders of Christian Art” in the Assembly of God in the Amazon, the need to invest in musical formation. This musical formation gains greater backing when one observes that music is not always used for a real and effective relation with the Sacred, but with the goal of proselytism, marketing or for the phonographic market. With the Sacred one establishes an experiential relation. This relation can be through music which awakens emotions and feelings.
