Summary "The Story of Our Hymns" by Ernest Edwin Ryden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the origins of Christian hymns, tracing their evolution through various periods and examining the spiritual and cultural contexts in which they were created. The author aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for these sacred songs by uncovering the stories of their authors and the times they lived in." "The opening of the book establishes the significance of hymns within the Christian faith, comparing them to precious jewels that have enhanced worship throughout history. Ryden articulates that hymns reflect the spiritual journey of God’s people and highlights the first hymns sung by early Christians. The introduction outlines the methodical approach taken in the book, which organizes hymns chronologically to provide insights into the development of hymnody across different eras, from early Christian chants to significant figures like Martin Luther, who revitalized congregational singing during the Reformation."
