In this companion volume to his acclaimed work Manly Piety in Its Spirit, Robert Philip explores what an active life of Christian devotion looks like in practice for men. Whereas the first book laid out Philip's vision for integrating biblical masculinity and vigorous discipleship, Manly Piety in its Realizations reveals what this ideal translates to in real world habits, relationships, and work.Philip begins by focusing on men's personal spiritual habits, unpacking the disciplines of prayer, scripture reading, self-examination, and meditation. He then turns to character and shows how traits like integrity, courage, self-control and compassion manifest themselves in daily life. The bulk of the book illustrates manly piety lived out in marriage, friendship, parenting, professional endeavors, and service to the church and wider community.Throughout, Philip provides inspiration and advice by highlighting biblical figures and contemporary biographies of Christian men whose faith was authenticated by their actions. He also addresses potential objections and discusses navigating the tensions and limitations of living out one's faith in a fallen world. In Manly Piety in its Realizations, Philip contends that when pursued with diligence and grace, robust masculine Christianity results in an embodiment of the Gospel that beautifully impacts every sphere of a man's life.Written with Philip's trademark intellectual vigor and pastoral warmth, this book provides men seeking to live out a vigorous faith with godly wisdom, guidance, and inspiration for the journey. It serves as an invaluable manual for translating lofty principles into practical habits, relationships, and service as modern disciples of Jesus Christ.

In Manly Piety in Its Spirit, celebrated religious writer Robert Philip explores the true meaning and expression of Christian devotion for men. Philip argues that modern notions of masculinity and piety have become unnaturally separated, leading to a version of faith that fails to resonate with many men.Throughout this thought-provoking book, Philip lays out his vision for bringing devotion and manliness back together. He examines the lives of great biblical and historical figures who modeled genuine "manly piety," such as Moses, David, and Jesus Christ himself. According to Philip, their examples show that qualities like courage, leadership, justice, and self-sacrifice for a greater cause are integral parts of a godly masculinity.Philip then provides practical guidance for how modern men can live out an active, vigorous faith. He offers insights for spiritual disciplines and habits ranging from prayer and Bible study, to integrity in business, service to others, defense of the helpless, and stewardship of God's creation. Philip contends that when lived fully and boldly, biblical Christianity uniquely satisfies the longings and calling innate in manhood.Written in the engaging and intellectual style that made Philip famous, Manly Piety in Its Spirit makes the case that true masculinity reaches its potential and fulfillment only through a vigorous, practical, and heroic faith. It is an inspiring call to men of all walks to embrace Christian discipleship with energy and conviction, utilizing their gifts and abilities in service to God's Kingdom.

He exhorts faith powered by conviction, untouched by sentimentality or showmanship. Philip's insights resonated with generations of readers seeking substance and depth in Christian practice.

An invaluable guide for lovers of classical music designed to enhance their enjoyment of the core orchestral repertoire from 1700 to 1950

Listeners have enjoyed classical music recordings for more than a century, yet important issues about recorded performances have been little explored. What is the relationship between performance and recording? How are modern audiences affected by the trends set in motion by the recording era? What is the impact of recordings on the lives of musicians? In this wide-ranging book, Robert Philip extends the scope of his earlier pioneering book, Early Recordings and Musical Style: Changing Tastes in Instrumental Performance 19001950. Philip here considers the interaction between music-making and recording throughout the entire twentieth century.The author compares the lives of musicians and audiences in the years before recordings with those of today. He examines such diverse and sometimes contentious topics as changing attitudes toward freedom of expression, the authority of recordings made by or approved by composers, the globalization of performing styles, and the rise of the period instrument movement. Philip concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of the future of classical music performance.

Until recently, early recordings were regarded as little more than old-fashioned curiosities by musicians. Scholars and musicians now are beginning to realise their importance as historical documents which preserve the performance of composers and the musicians with whom they worked. In this fascinating study, Robert Philip argues that recordings of the early twentieth-century provide an important and hitherto neglected resource in the history of musical performance. The book concentrates on aspects of performance which underwent the greatest change in the early twentieth century, including rhythm, rubato, vibrato, and portamento. The final chapters explore some of the implications of these changes, both for the study of earlier periods and for the understanding of our own attitudes to the music of the past.
