Summary "The Story of the Hymns and Tunes" by Theron Brown and Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This publication delves into the origins, significance, and transformation of hymns and their accompanying music throughout Christian history. It covers a broad spectrum of hymns, including those used in worship, missionary activities, and those expressing suffering and consolation. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the concept of hymnody, illustrating its deep roots in spiritual expression and communal worship. They emphasize the importance of hymns as vehicles for religious emotion, noting how diverse cultures have contributed to their evolution. The preface highlights the collaborative efforts to revise previous works on the subject while maintaining the essence of hymnology, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of famous hymns, their authors, and the tunes associated with them that follow in subsequent chapters.
