John R. Tyson
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Hymns and hymnbooks as American historical and cultural icons.

Distinguishing features of this volume are studies of the most popular hymns , with attention to the ability of such hymns to reveal, as they are altered and adapted, shifts in American popular religion. The book also focuses attention on the role hymns play in changing attitudes about race, class, gender, economic life, politics, and society.
