Franz Hildebrandt and Oliver A. Beckerlegge edited this Oxford University Press volume, the critical edition of A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists, John Wesley's 1780 hymnal, with Wesley's own preface and the editors' scholarly apparatus on sources and revisions. Its strength is that it is a rigorously edited critical text with documented textual apparatus, part of the standard scholarly edition of Wesley's collected works. Its limit is that it is a critical edition of the hymn texts and their history, not an interpretive study of Methodist hymnody's theological content or its later reception, so a claim needing that interpretive analysis needs a separate scholarly source.
