A historical and critical account of the introduction of hymns as part of the liturgy, showing that such a bonding is neither very ancient nor inevitable. Traces the controversial shift from metrical psalms to hymnody and discusses legal issues and litigation that developed over the change. Intended not as a definitive study but a spark to further research and debate. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
