Songs of \u003ci\u003eprotest\u003c\/i\u003e developed from the spiritual through social-gospel hymnody to culminate in songs of the civil-rights movement and the blues. Born in rebellion, they envision the Kingdom of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongs of \u003ci\u003epraise, \u003c\/i\u003e by contrast, express adoration. Beginning with the \"ring-shout,\" Spencer follows the history of intoned declamation through the tongue song, Holiness-Pentecostal music, and the chanted sermon of the black preacher. Spencer's approach, termed theomusicology, unlocks the wealth of African-American sacred music with a theological key. The result is a fascinating account of a people's struggle with God in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Fortress Press","offers":[{"title":"Protest and Praise | Jon Michael Spencer | Paperback | 0800624041 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1781010","offer_id":49948596175000,"sku":"1781010","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71a81kUHNuL.jpg?v=1789795868","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/protest-and-praise","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
