"The Story of the Hymns and Tunes" by Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical exploration that examines the chronicles encompassing the emergence, importance, and changes across Christian history of hymns and their corresponding melodies. The narrative spans a wide array of hymns, which includes those employed in worship, missionary endeavors, and reflections on suffering and solace. The authors initially present the idea of hymnody and show its firm establishment in spiritual expression and community worship. They highlight that hymns carry religious feelings, emphasizing how a variety of cultures contributed to how they have evolved. The book sets the scene for a detailed study of well-known hymns, their creators, and the tunes linked to them in the chapters that follow, highlighting the joint initiatives with other authors to modify earlier works on the subject while preserving the heart of hymnology.
