Of the many hymnbooks published by John and Charles Wesley, the
most important was A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People
Called Methodists (1780). Taking this volume as a case study and
concentrating on the Charles Wesley hymns included in it, Teresa
Berger clarifies the relationship between the language of doxology
of worship and praise of God and the substance of theological
reflection. She identifies the central theological themes and
emphases in this body of hymnody, and raises the question of how
theology can be embodied in hymns. Central to her argument is the
claim that the theological analysis of doxological material is
possible only when it takes care to recognize and safeguard the
characteristics, the criteria of authenticity, and the tests of
authority and legitimacy peculiar to doxological language. Part One
of the book sets the whole discussion within the context of a
renewed interest in doxological and liturgical traditions across
Christianity by showing how the relationship of doxology and
theology is an important topic of theological discussion in Roman
Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and ecumenical circles. Part Two is
devoted to a thorough theological analysis of the central themes
and images of the 1780 Collection. Part Three attempts to clarify
the nature of doxology in its relation to theology.
