Em tempos de cânticos de adoração antropocêntricos e repetitivos, a igreja cristã deve lembrar-se de homens como Isaac Watts, um dos grandes compositores de hinos da história da igreja. Neste sétimo volume da coleção Um Perfil de Homens Piedosos, o autor Douglas Bond mostra-nos como a vida e as belas composições de Watts podem servir de modelo para orientar as novas gerações de poetas que se envolvem na tarefa de escrever letras para adoração congregacional do povo de Deus. Highly readable -- and enjoyable -- biography of the "Father of English Hymnody," with discussions of different aspects of Watts's work -- as a pastor, as an educator of children, as a poet. At first, I was troubled by author's propensity for breaking down the 'fourth wall,' in inviting readers, for example, to imagine what it might have been like to be Watts -- a short, geeky, rather ugly man. But I gradually realized that this was part of Bond's purpose: to make Watts real to contemporary readers, as well as an exemplar of godly living to follow. In short, I loved this book -- and found my already strong admiration for Isaac Watts further strengthened. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
