John Brownlie (1859 - 1925) was a notable Scottish hymnologist and translator, well-regarded for his contributions to the translation of early Christian hymns into English. His scholarly endeavors have made a significant impact on the preservation and understanding of Greek Christian liturgy in the English-speaking world. A minister of the Church of Scotland, Brownlie devoted his life to ecclesiastical pursuits, pastoral care, and his passion for hymnody. One of his enduring works, 'Hymns from the Greek Office Books' reflects his meticulous study and translation of hymns from the original Greek sources, making these religious texts more accessible to a wider audience. His literary style is marked by an attentiveness to both the poetic qualities of hymn texts and the theological nuances essential to the hymns' liturgical context. His contributions extend beyond translation, as he also penned original hymns, ever characterized by deep spirituality and doctrinal integrity. Brownlie's work has earned him a respected place in the canon of English hymnody and his translations continue to enrich the liturgical celebrations of many Christian denominations to this day.
