"A new hymn book is a significant event in the life of the Church. And the arrival of 'Common Praise', a new edition of 'Hymns Ancient and Modern'. is, to those who know and love its previous editions, an important moment. .... The Council of 'Hymns Ancient and Modern' sought to respond to the needs of a later time with the publication of the revised edition of 1950 and then with two supplementary volumes, '100 Hymns for Today' (1969) and 'More Hymns for Today' (1980). The 1950 volume was an acclaimed hymn book, and the two supplements allowed the addition of much new material, some of it from the vigorous revival of hymn writing which had taken place since 1960. .... Patterns of worship, also, were changing so rapidly that a new definitive edition did not seem appropriate in the 1980s: accordingly, 'Hymns Ancient and Modern New Standard' (1983) was designed to meet those new conditions. It included the core of the 1950 edition, together with the two supplements, bound in one volume. Inevitably, some of the hymns in the two supplements have proved more successful than others; and at the end of the twentieth century the time has come for a hymn book which will gather up the finest hymns, old and new, and present them for use as material for worship in the twenty-first century. This new edition is therefore a book which looks forward as well as back. .... In addition, the Church has become more ecumenical during the last quarter of the twentieth century, so that this a book which is not for Anglicans only ... ". -- Preface.

This book "tells the story of almost 2000 years of Christianity in the British Isles. The tale is inspiring and shameful by turns, as the Christian faith has been applied, adapted or ignored by saints and sinners, archbishops and monarchs, clerics and lay people. Here will be found political intrigue, artistic genius, martyrdom, overseas endeavour, reform and counter-reform, complacency and challenge. Each chapter is written by foremost scholars of the period." -- back cover.
