Singing the Faith: Presentation Edition, Hardcover

Description

Two years after its initial publication, and aftersales of 120,000 copies, this Presentation Edition of Singing The Faith, the authorised hymn book of the Menthodist Church, is published to public demand. More than just a hymn book, the Church famously expresses its theology through its hymnody and thus it hymn book is also a devotional and theological resource.

Seven years in development, Singing the Faith contains the classic, best loved hymns of Christian tradition and also incorporates many exciting new hymns, songs and liturgical chants from the world church. A large proportion of its 830+ items are 20th and 21st century compositions, offering a feast of musical choices spanning centuries and continents.

It is arranged thematically in three parts:
* God's Eternal Goodness - the Trinity, praise and adoration, creation, gathering for worship, Scripture and revelation.
* God's Redeeming Work - the life of Christ revealed throughout the Christian year
* God's Enduring Purposes - the Holy Spirit, our life in God, prayer, the sacraments, our human journeys, the saints and the life to come.
