The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023736527)

The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged represents a significant moment in the history of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States. This edition, officially adopted by the General Convention in 1892, reflects the evolving liturgical and musical tastes of the late 19th century. As the preliminary report of the Committee on the Hymnal, it offers a glimpse into the selection process and the theological considerations shaping the Church's worship.

Containing a diverse collection of hymns, this volume provides insight into the spiritual life of Episcopalians during a period of significant social and cultural change. A valuable resource for scholars of American religious history, musicologists, and anyone interested in the traditions of the Episcopal Church, this hymnal preserves a vital part of America's religious heritage.
