Songs of protest 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.Songs of praise, 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","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157513138464,"sku":"NEW0800624041","price":21.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71a81kUHNuL.jpg?v=1786045563","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/protest-and-praise-sacred-music-of-black-religion-0800624041","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
