The Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts: With All the Additional Hymns and Complete Indexes

Rating:
Summary: The Greatest English Hymnist
Review: Isaac Watts wrote Hymns with the assumption that theology was necessary to worship. These are not tha pat simplistic platitudes that pass for worship songs now. These hymns teach as well as entertain. The psalter alone is worth the price. All psalms written in poetical form. The Gospel of Christ was written back into the Psalms on the reasoning that they were about Christ in the first place and that to sing them as Christians we must see Christ in them.
