The Irish Presbyterian Hymn Book (IPHB), published in 2004 by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, is more than a collection of songs—it’s a theological and musical landmark.

After using it weekly for several years in a Dublin congregation, I offer this in-depth review for ministers, musicians, and worshippers.
