About this book
Pastor Ernest Edwin Ryden of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, wrote this history of Christian hymns for ordinary readers, first issued in December 1930. He arranges the hymns in time order, so each can be seen against the age that produced it. Part One covers early Christian chants, Greek and Syriac hymns, and Latin hymnody. Part Two turns to German hymnody, with chapters on Martin Luther and the hymn writers of the Reformation. The book is dedicated to the memory of the author's son Richard, who died at ten.
