Description
It is a common observation that of the three books that historically have been most influential in developing and nourishing Lutheran piety--Bible, catechism, and hymnal--it is the hymnal that, for many, has been of most lasting influence. Bibles may go unread and catechisms set aside as a regular part of Christian education, but it is the hymnal, it can be argued with some justification, that, encountered on a regular basis Sunday after Sunday, has had the most significant effect on the piety of American Lutherans. It is appropriate, therefore, to describe the context in which the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) took shape and the procedures that shaped the content of the hymn portion of the book, and to assess the impact and legacy of its hymnody on the piety of American Lutherans.
