News – Call for short reports on current research work in the Jahrbuch für Liturgik und Hymnologie
In the hymnological section of the Jahrbuch für Liturgik und Hymnologie there is now the possibility to report in short form on relevant dissertation projects, but also on other larger research and editing projects. This report is intended to stimulate a scholarly exchange between interested readers of the JLH and researchers. If you are working on such a project, please contact the editor: Dr. Daniela Wissemann-Garbe, daniela.wissemann@posteo.de
What is hymnology?
Hymnology is the scholarly engagement with the church’s song, hymns, and hymnbooks. To engage with the diverse aspects of these subjects, hymnology uses the methods of related academic disciplines, including theology (with its subdisciplines), music and church music, history, literature, linguistics, culture studies, bibliography, aesthetics and poetics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Hymnological studies can be empirical, historical, or systematic.
Become a member
Are you involved with the church’s song, hymns, and hymnbooks? New members are always welcome (see Membership).
