This deluxe, spiral-bound collection bridges the stylistic gap between modern-day worship songs and the hymns of Christian heritage. A select advisory board was assembled to pinpoint 56 hymns both for their musical quality, and for the messages they bring to today's worshippers. Their selections include: Amazing Grace * Be Still, My Soul * Blessed Assurance * Crown Him with Many Crowns * How Firm a Foundation * Joy to the World * Revive Us Again * To God Be the Glory * and more.

A comprehensive worship supplement that will fit many churches' needs for quality modern music resources, arranged seasonally and thematically. The 330 hymns and songs included represent many influential writers and styles including selections from Bernadette Farrell, John Bell, Stuart Townsend, Michael Forster, Graham Kendrick, Carl Daw, Taizé, Marty Haugen, Timothy Dudley-Smith, Shirley Erena-Murray, Keith Getty, Martin Leckebusch and many more. Designed to help churches broaden their repertoire substantially without the cost of replacing standard hymn books. Many standard hymn books in use today may seem old-fashioned, even those recently published. Keeping up to date is tricky since many new compositions may enjoy a brief spell of popularity, only to quickly drop out of use altogether! Here, an experienced team of UK church musicians and liturgists, representing a wide variety of tastes, has selected the very best of recently written hymns, songs and short chant compositions. Many of these selections have proven staying power and are widely used in both traditional and informal styles of worship, but often will not be found in other hymn books.

Hymns and the music the church sings are tangible means of expressing worship. And while worship is one of, if not the, central functions of the church along with mission, service, education, justice, and compassion, and occupies a prime focus of our churches, a renewed sense of awareness to our theological presuppositions and cultural cues must be maintained to ensure a proper focus in worship. Hymns and Hymnody: Historical and Theological Introductions is a 60-chapter, three-volume introductory textbook describing the most influential hymnists, liturgists, and musical movements of the church. This academically grounded resource evaluates both the historical and theological perspectives of the major hymnists and composers that have impacted the church over the course of twenty centuries. Volume 1 explores the early church and concludes with the Renaissance era hymnists. Volume 2 begins with the Reformation and extends to the eighteenth-century hymnists and liturgists. Volume 3 engages nineteenth century hymnists to the contemporary movements of the twenty-first century. Each chapter contains these five elements: historical background, theological perspectives communicated in their hymns/compositions, contribution to liturgy and worship, notable hymns, and bibliography. The mission of Hymns and Hymnody is (1) to provide biographical data on influential hymn writers for students and interested laypeople, and (2) to provide a theological analysis of what these composers have communicated in the theology of their hymns. We believe it is vital for those involved in leading the worship of the church to recognize that what they communicate is in fact theology. This latter aspect, we contend, is missing--yet important--in accessible formats for the current literature.
