With Tongues of Fire: Profiles in 20th-Century Hymn Writing

Paul Westermeyer

3.8/5 ( ratings)

This volume attempts an introduction to 20th century hymnody in the US with an overview of the issues of concern to the hymnists. Its core, however, is interviews with selected authors: Carl P. Daw, Jr.; Timothy Dudley-Smith; Sylvia Dunstan; Martin Franzmann; Fred Pratt Green; Fred Kaan; Erik Routley; Thomas H. Troeger; Jaroslav J. Vajda; and Brian A. Wren. The emphasis is, obviously, mainline Protestant but with sufficient diversity to provide a reasonable overview. The bibliographic information provided is excellent, providing the necessary information to follow up on authors who catch your imagination.
