The Poetic Wonder of Isaac Watts (A Long Line of Godly Men Profile)

Description

Summary In an age of simplistic and repetitive choruses, many churches are rediscovering the blessing of theologically rich and biblically informed songs. In our A Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, Douglas Bond introduces us to Isaac Watts, "the father of English hymnody." Douglas Bond urges Christians to delight in the grandeur, beauty, and joy of Watts' poetry. We pray that you would regain a sense of God's majesty as we celebrate the God-given poetic wonder of Isaac Watts.ChaptersWatts' Life and LegacyWatts as EducatorWatts' Sermon HymnsWatts as Lyric PoetWatts as Hymn WriterWatts as Poet TheologianWatts as Children's PoetWatts as Psalm InterpreterConclusion: Watts for Our TimeResources and ToolsPart of A Long Line of Godly Men Profile seriesAppendix A: An Isaac Watts TimelineAppendix B: Favorite Isaac Watts HymnsAppendix C: Books by Isaac WattsNotesSubject indexBibliography
