Great Hymns and their Writers




The title of this series of podcasts describes exactly what they are about, “Great Hymns and their Writers”. We look at what each writer was teaching in the words of their hymn while at the same time learning about the writer. The series first appeared in print between 1970 and 1979 in the Wicket Gate Magazine and were written by W. J. Seaton.
