More Than Hymns 2

SKU: ST.B944

ISBN 9780852499443.

A creative spirituality is the essence of Andrew Pratt's continuing affirmation of the role of hymnody in contemporary faith, through a corpus of lyrics for public worship that are amongst the most relevant of recent contributions to the form. No less than with his very first texts, dating from the late 1970s, the goal in this fourth and latest collection is to make sense of language, living and worshipping in a way that also acknowledges the shifting and often contextual nature of our words and of our world. One important influence in More than Hymns has been the discipline of writing hymns for three years of the readings of the Revised Common Lectionary. Another has been his response to the problem of evil as manifest in the crises and conflicts of the last decade. There are challenging insights into familiar Biblical themes, and a number of refreshing items, each a piece d'occasion arising from the author's varied pastoral work.

The Jubilate Group.

65 Favorite Hymns from The Jubilate Group Jubilate had its origins in the early 1960s, led by pioneers Rev Michael Baughen, Rev Michael Saward and friends. For more than 50 years the organization has sought to promote the use of quality words and music in worship in churches across the world. It has been the driving force behind a number of ground-breaking publications, including Youth Praise, Psalm Praise, Carol Praise, Hymns for Today's Church and Sing Glory. It has also played a key role in the modernization of existing hymn texts, with the desire to make rich hymnody more accessible to the unchurched and the next generation.
