Summary "Hymnological Studies" by Matthew N. Lundquist is a scholarly work focused on the field of hymnology, composed during the early 20th century. This study is intended to provide insights particularly to Lutheran organists and choir directors regarding the history, literary characteristics, and religious significance of hymns within Lutheran worship. The text delves into various aspects of hymnody, analyzing both the religious and poetic qualities of hymns, particularly highlighting their rootedness in scripture and community. The opening of this work introduces the author's personal interest in hymnology and draws attention to its value for those involved in church music and worship. Lundquist outlines the framework for the study of Lutheran church hymns, emphasizing their Biblicality and congregational relevance. He also touches upon the historical evolution of hymnody, highlighting its development from early Christian hymns through the Middle Ages, culminating in the Reformation's impact on congregational singing. The author encourages readers to consider hymns not just as songs but as expressions of corporate faith, tracing their journey through time, culture, and theological shifts.
