Description

Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) was an 18th century English Nonconformist leader best known for his book The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul. Since many members of his congregation in Northampton, England, were illiterate, Doddridge wrote hymns to convey the points of his weekly sermons. His hymns were last published as a collected volume in the early 1800s.

This book contains 375 of Doddridge's hymns, which provide poetic reflection on Old and New Testament texts, and various occasions pertaining to Christians and the church. It also includes a timeline of Doddridge's life, numerous helpful indexes, and various compatible hymn tunes.

"Philip Doddridge's hymns have been compared to Jacob's ladder. They begin on earth and end in heaven. We may trace this principle throughout this collection and find here many an antidote to our human need as Doddridge lifts our eyes to view our circumstances in the light of that eternal world to come. This republication of one of Doddridge's most enduring contributions is a spiritual tonic for our day."
-- Faith Cook, author of Our Hymn Writers and Their Hymns
