Book Description
Excerpt from Unity Hymns and Chorals With Service Elements This book is a much revised and enlarged form of the "Unity Hymns and Chorals," published thirty years ago. During this period the rising faith has voiced itself in many ways, and not least significantly in new and noble hymns. Mainly from these recent hymns, but also from fresh gleanings in the older fields, our present selection is made. Of its three hundred and thirty-five hymns, one hundred and forty-eight are new to this revision, and seventy-three of its hundred and fifteen tunes. The "Opening Services," six of the fourteen "Choral Responses," the "Thanksgivings," the "Prayers," the "Benedictions," and many of the "Choral Sentences," are also new to it. More than half of the book is, therefore, new. The editors, both of whom took part in the preparation of the former book, hope that even more than that it may deserve its new sub-title, "A Book for Heart, Home, Church." Many churches will, of course, prefer a wider range both of hymns and tunes. But familiarity and association have much to do with hymn-love and tune - use; and few congregations use more than three hundred hymns, or can sing more than one hundred tunes with success and enjoyment. Our book is made for the little church rather than the large, and for the singing congregation rather than the choir; and in providing our small number of hymns and tunes our aim has been to select such as will serve nearly every practical purpose for which a church-book is used, and also such as already have, or are likely to acquire, enduring love among us. The Tunes Our tunes, with few exceptions, have long been familiar to the congregations. Most of them are common to many of the better hymn-books, and have been chosen partly by that test of excellence. The cut-leaf feature is retained, - this device, with some undoubted drawbacks, having approved itself, we think, to most of the churches that have used the former book. It has several advantages: it brings any tune over any hymn on any opened page; hymns and tunes can be arranged in perfect independence of each other, - the tunes alphabetically, so they can be easily found without consulting an index, - the hymns ideally by subject, while each group can be arranged within itself in sequences of beauty; and it makes possible a smaller book and a cheaper price.

Book Description
Uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging in its scope, The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church is the indispensable reference work on all aspects of the Christian Church. It contains over 6,500 cross-referenced A-Z entries, and offers unrivalled coverage of all aspects of this vast and often complex subject, from theology; churches and denominations; patristic scholarship; and the bible; to the church calendar and its organization; popes; archbishops; other church leaders; saints; and mystics. In this new edition, great efforts have been made to increase and strengthen coverage of non-Anglican denominations (for example non-Western European Christianity), as well as broadening the focus on Christianity and the history of churches in areas beyond Western Europe. In particular, there have been extensive additions with regards to the Christian Church in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, and Australasia. Significant updates have also been included on topics such as liturgy, Canon Law, recent international developments, non-Anglican missionary activity, and the increasingly important area of moral and pastoral theology, among many others. Since its first appearance in 1957, the ODCC has established itself as an essential resource for ordinands, clergy, and members of religious orders, and an invaluable tool for academics, teachers, and students of church history and theology, as well as for the general reader.
