A world first for music, faith, and history.Join us for a special performance of the "first hymn" by Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding.
The First Hymn is led by Australian historian John Dickson, now a professor at Wheaton College, as he explores the discovery of P.Oxy 1786, as the hymn is known to scholars, outside the ancient Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus and the analysis of its lyrics and musical notation at Oxford University. For the first time, the world can know not only what these ancient believers were singing, but also hear how their song sounded.
As part of the production, Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding—two of the world's most respected Christian composers—work to resurrect this song as a piece of modern worship music. Their efforts span continents and cultures, resulting in a truly beautiful piece of music that is both engaging and accessible to the modern church. The First Hymn culminates with the release of their creation in a concert finale in front of thousands of fans.
