PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Nancy L. Graham is a hymnologist, lecturer, and church musician, with a Ph.D. and Doctor of Sacred Music degree from the Graduate Theological Foundation, Foundation House in Oxford, as well as a Master of Music from Westminster Choir College.
Erik Routley kept the study of hymnology alive at a time when no-one was much interested in writing about it, and his work is still a yardstick by which the discussion of hymns is measured. A study of his life and work is long overdue, and Nancy Graham has provided it splendidly. Her book will be welcomed by all who are interested in the study of hymns. -- John R. Watson, professor emeritus, Durham University; author of <i>The English Hymn</i>, founder and co-editor of the <i>Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology</i> Erik Routley was one of the giants of Congregationalism in the twentieth century. His contributions to church life, chaplaincy, and theological education were immense, but dwarfed by his incredible contribution to church music and hymnody. The lack of a biography has been a serious gap, which has now been rectified by this outstanding publication. Nancy Graham has travelled the globe chasing down every piece of archive material, and every possible person to interview. The fruits of that work are this biography, which is thorough, comprehensive, and definitive. Anyone wanting to know about Erik Routley will find everything here. -- Michael Hopkins, Westminster College, Cambridge
