| Summary | "Hymns of the Greek Church" by John Brownlie is a collection of translations of Greek Christian hymns compiled and translated during the late 19th century. The book serves to introduce English-speaking readers to the rich and deeply emotive hymnody of the Greek Orthodox Church, a topic that had been largely neglected in Western Christian literature. This work stands out as an effort to bridge the cultural and linguistic gap, focusing on the beauty and spirituality encapsulated in these hymns. The content of the book offers a curated selection of approximately forty-seven hymns, many of which are presented for the first time in English verse. The hymns encompass themes of worship, adoration, and the celebration of key Christian events like the Resurrection and the Nativity of Christ. They reflect a distinctively objective focus on God’s majesty and the events of salvation history, contrasting with the more subjective expressions commonly found in English hymns. Brownlie aims to showcase the aesthetic and spiritual depth of Greek hymns, encouraging a broader appreciation for this important aspect of Christian worship and literature.
