Description: Title: Wonderful Words of Life: Hymns in American Protestant History and Theology Author: Mouw, Richard J. Publisher: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Binding: Paperback Pages: 288 Dimensions: 9.06h x 6.08w x 0.81d Product Weight: 0.94 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780802821607 While many evangelical congregations have moved away from hymns and hymnals, these were once central fixtures in the evangelical tradition. This book examines the role and importance of hymns in evangelicalism, not only as a part of worship but as tools for theological instruction, as a means to identity formation, and as records of past spiritual experiences of the believing community. Written by knowledgeable church historians, Wonderful Words of Life explores the significance of hymn-singing in many dimensions of American Protestant and evangelical life. The book focuses mainly on church life in the United States but also discusses the foundational contributions of Isaac Watts and other British hymn writers, the use of gospel songs in English Canada, and the powerful attraction of African-American gospel music for whites of several religious persuasions. Includes appendixes on the American Protestant Hymn Project and on hymns in Roman Catholic hymnals. Contributors: Susan Wise Bauer Thomas E.
