Hymnology in the Service of the Church: Essays in Honor of Harry Eskew

Harry Eskew taught Music History and Hymnology at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary for thirty-six years.

For those lucky enough to be among his master's and doctoral students, he made hymnological research a joyful adventure.

Likewise, he influenced other students and colleagues through his work as Editor of The Hymn and through his hymnology textbook Sing with Understanding, co-authored with long-time friend and colleague Hugh McElrath.

Few among contemporary teachers of hymnody could claim a wider influence.
