About this listen

John Dickson Historian, has discovered the oldest (two-thousand-year-old) Christian Hymn. John Dickson is the host of the highly anticipated documentary The First Hymn, premiering in Australian cinemas from 31 July.

John was doing research at Oxford University and stumbled on the papyrus that contained the words and music of a 2,000 year old hymn. As John was in a rock band many years ago, he reads music and the work jumped out at him.
