Jahrbuch für Liturgik und Hymnologie. 2014

The 2014 Yearbook of Liturgy and Hymnology reports on some sensational discoveries made concerning the hymnals from the time of the Reformation. It also looks at the agenda work of the German Protestant Church and traces the possibilities of ecumenism. The liturgical part of the 2014 Yearbook is concerned with the future agenda work of the German Protestant Church. It pleads for remaining at a distance to the idea of the "anger of design" and calls for more emphasis on the nature of games as a way to develop agendas in the future.
But it also shows that the Liturgical Book of the Protestant Church from 1999 as well as the Agenda of Occasions have become very ecumenical in nature. The hymnological part of the Yearbook concerns contributions from the history of the Protestant hymnal. One article looks at the new Dutch hymnal and the criteria used to put it together. Other reports take up the oldest editions and some sensational discoveries concerning hymnals from the time of the Reformation.
Also, there is a reconstruction of a long-lost collection of hymnal pamphlets.
