Studies in the Hymnody of Isaac Watts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004519947)

The hymns of Isaac Watts are a remarkable blend of biblical, theological, liturgical, poetic, musical, and practical dimensions, some of which have seldom been touched upon in previous studies of the hymn writer. In this book, you will find analyses of Watts's texts from each of these perspectives. As shown by this study, it is not only these individual factors but their combination that made Watts's hymns innovative but also effective and long lasting in his own time--and that makes many of them still useful and widely sung today.
