Like your Hymnal 1940 and the 1928 BCP, our 1941 TLH has become a standard by which everything else is measured. Where LSB is better is in little things, like clarity of type, and readability; the page numbering, font choices, and other formatting is lovely. Oh, and some of the best and most talented new hymn writers in Christendom, if I do say so myself!<BR/><BR/>Where LSB really shines is in congregations who were cursed with Lutheran Worship and can now leave it behind them! LW was a mess. There were many of us quite relieved that the newest hymnal was not another Lutheran Worship; we all had good reason to fear that it would be!Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601056345219122672.post-22744194763218288732009-01-06T07:24:00.000-08:002009-01-06T07:24:00.000-08:00Dear EC,My LCMS pastor friend definitely thought t...Dear EC,<BR/><BR/>My LCMS pastor friend definitely thought the 2006 <A HREF="http://lsb.cph.org/" REL="nofollow">Lutheran Service Book</A> was an improvement over the 1982 Lutheran Worship, which he skipped.<BR/><BR/>One blogger <A HREF="http://www.redeemer-fortwayne.org/blog.php?msg=4353" REL="nofollow">remarked</A> that the main benefit of the LSB was that it undid the errors of LW, but overall it was only slightly better than The Lutheran Hymnal (1941). Would you agree?<BR/><BR/>Still, it’s remarkable that the LCMS was able to reverse the trend of going from bad to worse.<BR/><BR/>I really wonder whether Schism II — without a common denominational hierarchy — could ever pull off a new hymnal. Also, whether there’s enough qualified people to do it. Certainly, as your comment suggests, we will have to wait until the pent-up demand becomes irresistible.<BR/><BR/>9.J.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248876387772558074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601056345219122672.post-59601906958286362702009-01-06T06:31:00.000-08:002009-01-06T06:31:00.000-08:00Knowing the wrangling and years of hard, hard work...Knowing the wrangling and years of hard, hard work that go into putting a decent hymnal together, I'll be watching (and praying for!) this situation.<BR/><BR/>(I'm an LCMS lurker here. Our own new hymnal was some 10 years in the making, I believe - but it was worth the wait.)Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.com
