Hymns and hymnbooks as American historical and cultural icons. This
work is a study of the importance of Protestant hymns in defining
America and American religion. It explores the underappreciated
influence of hymns in shaping many spheres of personal and
corporate life as well as the value of hymns for studying religious
life. Distinguishing features of this volume are studies of the
most popular hymns ('Amazing Grace,' 'O, For a Thousand Tongues to
Sing,' 'All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name'), 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.
