Carl F. Price, a pioneering hymnologist, historian, and author, presents 52 stories of hymns from the Methodist Sunday School Hymnal to introduce students to the great music of the church, The hymns range from those by familiar hymnologists such as Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts to lesser known writers such as Martin Rinkart, and Henry Kirke White.. These hymns roughly fallow the Methodist church year including Sundays for "Missionary," "Temperance," "Children's Day," etc, and the major holidays of the year. Summary by Larry Wilson
