New publication: British Methodist Hymnody

A new book by OU Music Lecturer Martin Clarke has just been published. British Methodist Hymnody: Theology, Heritage, and Experience argues that the significance of hymnody in British Methodism is best understood as a combination of its official status,
spiritual expression, popular appeal, and practical
application. Seeking to consider what, when, how, and why Methodists sing, British Methodist Hymnody
examines the history, perception, and practice of
hymnody from Methodism’s small-scale eighteenth century origins to its place as a worldwide
denomination today.
