Theology Inspiring Doxology—The Hymnody of Anne Dutton and Anne Steele
From beginning to end, the hymnic voices of eighteenth-century British hymnwriters Anne Dutton and Anne Steele join the Psalmist in declaring, "Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage" (Ps 119:54 KJV). With their consistent witness and faithfulness to the themes of Scripture, their hymns display an unswerving devotion to both truth and praise--theology inspiring doxology. Through an examination of poetic language and biblical content, this book explores how the hymns of Dutton and Steele illustrate a closely interwoven relationship between theology and doxology that is revealed and bound together by the word of God.

The Sung Theology of the English Particular Baptist Revival
Anne Steele (1717-1778) originally wrote her hymns to be sung in the Baptist congregation pastored by her father.

She eventually published her hymns under the pseudonym, Theodosia, which means "God's Gift." She believed God had given her a gift to share. Steele's work was warmly received in her own day.
