About the Book

Scotty Gray's Hermeneutics of Hymnody is a comprehensive and integrated approach to understanding hymns. It is unique in its holistic and interrelated exploration of the biblical, theological, liturgical, literary, musical, practical, and historical/biographical/sociocultural dimensions of one of the most basic forms of Christian literature. A chapter is devoted to each of these seven broad facets of hymnody and relates that facet to each of the others. Those who write hymns, compose hymn tunes, study hymns, compile hymnals, select hymns and tunes for the ministries of the church, and those who read and sing hymns can benefit from a keener sensitivity to and a deeper understanding of how these facets are vitally interrelated in fine hymnody from various times and traditions. This approach grew out of years of planning and leading hymns, teaching hymnology in a graduate theological seminary, chairing site visits to universities and seminaries for national and regional accrediting agencies, and extensive travel and living in other cultures.
About the Author: Scotty Gray devoted thirty-five years to graduate theological education during his career as a seminary professor, acting dean, vice president for academic affairs, and executive vice president. Prior to his academic career, Gray served as minister of music and education in churches, and for years during his academic career, chaired site visits to universities and seminaries for national and regional accrediting agencies. Gray and his family have lived in England, Germany, and Switzerland. In retirement Gray served as director of educational outreach ministries in his church, coordinating programs of ESL, literacy, citizenship, computer skills, and life skills. Gray continues working with international students who are preparing for SAT, GED, and TOEFL. He and his wife, June, have two daughters, Lynne and Amy, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Gray's hobbies include reading, playing the piano, and researching family history.
