Description
Some consider hymns a rich heritage, while others find them an outmoded tradition. But few have considered the 'classic' hymn style itself, which was forged at a time of rapid technological advancement. Was this a mere coincidence? Were there common theological and cultural concerns behind the development both of technology and of hymn as a musical genre? This talk will explore recent findings from neuroscience and anthropology that might help us better appreciate hymns as a unique technology for the communication of human intentions.
