This anthology of several centuries’ worth of great hymns invites us to experience these works as devotional poetry—to slow down and savor their well-turned phrases and evocative language. English professor Leland Ryken provides some historical background for each hymn, but his focus is on literary analysis. Combined with relevant Scripture texts, the result is a wonderfully devotional and poetic study of the Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Leland Ryken has done us an enormous service.
