In today's episode, we delve into the life and legacy of Edward Perronet, the man behind the beloved hymn "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name."
Edward Perronet, born in 1726, was a significant figure within the Methodist movement led by John and Charles Wesley. His bold reformist stance, evident in his critiques of the Church of England hierarchy through works like 'The Mitre,' set him apart as a unique voice for change.
This episode explores the hymn's origins and offers a glimpse into the social and religious landscape of the 18th century.
