Christadelphian hymnals

[1] The next was the hymn book published for the use of Baptised Believers in the Kingdom of God (an early name for Christadelphians)[2] by George Dowie in Edinburgh in 1864.

[4] The first major revision of the official book took place in 1932 under the guidance of Charles Curwen Walker of Birmingham, England, the editor of The Christadelphian magazine.

Its simple monotone front cover with gold writing gave it the nickname "The Black Hymn Book."

In many Christadelphian hymn books a sizeable proportion of hymns are drawn from the Scottish Psalter and non-Christadelphian hymn-writers including Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, William Cowper and John Newton.

Despite incorporating non-Christadelphian hymns however, Christadelphian hymnody preserves the essential teachings of the community.
