Reviews

‘This book will be of interest beyond Wesleyan and Methodist scholars, clergy, and laity to those interested in congregational song in general, and to those interested in how a spiritual practice shapes individuals and an emerging denomination over several centuries. This book joins Andrew Pratt’s 2004 O for a Thousand Tongues: The 1933 Methodist Hymn Book in Context (Epworth Press) and David M. Chapman’s 2006 Born in Song: Methodist Worship in Britain (Church in the Marketplace Publications) to provide rich insight into British Methodist worship and song’ – Robin Knowles Wallace, Methodist Theological School, Ohio, USA ‘Clarke is a reliable guide… he examines both the textual and musical repertory, and the attachments that British Methodists have had to particular expressions of both.’ – John Swarbrick in Wesley and Methodist Studies 'Clarke’s book is very welcome. He identifies the place of hymnody and music in the worship and spirituality of British Methodism, and the theology and practice underpinning them.' – Tim Macquiban, Director of The Methodist Ecumenical Office
