Err, that's a bit of an assertion, even if it is made by somebody else in a published work, that Psalms were used exclusively by the early church in the first few centuries. Surely one of the few (if any) benefits of textual criticism is that it has been able to highlight prose/song in the epistles? And doesn't Paul say to sing Psalms, and "songs" and "spiritual hymns" to one-another^[1], making some kind of distinction.

Perhaps that opening paragraph could be revised and balanced a little better than just setting up the article to reflect a viewpoint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.162.14.51 (talk) 14:04, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
