Gene Higgins explores the life, ministry, and historical impact of hymn writer Isaac Watts, examining his background as the son of an imprisoned nonconformist (Hebrews 1:1), his critique of traditional psalm-singing practices in the Church of England, and his method of adapting Old Testament psalms to express New Testament gospel truths. He discusses Watts's prolific literary contributions across theology, education, and children's literature, alongside his profound legacy in shaping congregational worship through enduring hymns such as When I Survey the Wondrous Cross and Joy to the World.
