The
36 hymns in this new
anthology cover a variety
of subjects, including
familiar themes such as
Christmas and Easter, as
well as the role of
women, illness and
healing, wartime
remembrance, and
prostitution. They are
illuminated by the
author's preface and
commentaries to each of
the hymns, offering
fascinating insights into
hymn writing and the
creative process, and
issues of language and
content in relation to
the concerns of
contemporary Christians.
Ian Sharp has composed
new musical settings for
many of the texts.
