The essays on the hymns and biographies of the personalities will be of interest to anyone who has wondered why and when hymns were written. Theological and scriptural background of the hymns as well as practical advice for selecting and performing hymns will appeal to pastors, church musicians, and worship planners. The authoritative historical notes will be seen as a must-have resource for hymnologists, musicologists, scholars, and librarians, and the collection will make an ideal textbook for hymnody and church music courses"--
