THE AMAZING STORY OF THE AUSBAND The Oldest Hymnal in the World Known to Still be in Continuous Use

THE AMAZING STORY OF THE AUSBAND The Oldest Hymnal in the World Known to Still be in Continuous Use by Benuel S. Blank. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780971453913.

This book is the story of the Ausbund, the oldest hymnal in the world known to still be in continuous use. It is about the Jewish and Catholic people, who in days of long ago, kept alive the types of slow tunes that have always been inseparably associated with Ausbund songs. This book is about the Anabaptists who, in persecution, gave birth to these hymns, the Mennonites 250 years later who used and expanded the Ausbund, and the Amish today who still use it.
