It may seem unexpected to assert that controversy surrounds the
introduction of hymns in religious life in England. Though many
scholars have worked to catalog and index hymns, few have
investigated the evolution of hymns, and their proposed meaning to
religious celebration. A historical as well as a critical project,
The Matter and Manner of Praise undermines the compulsion to assume
that hymn-making and religion were always considered to coexist
effortlessly. Most histories of hymnody and evangelical movements
in England have elided the depth of feeling and concern that
surrounded the debate over hymns and their use during liturgy.
McCart uncovers, reexamines, and comments upon this debate. He
illuminates a partly unexplored topic in English church history, by
tracing the controversial shift from metrical psalms to hymnody,
and also takes into account legal issues and litigation that
developed over the introduction of hymns into church life. An
insightful study that should be fascinating reading for anyone
interested in teasing apart the historical nature of religious
ceremonies and hymns.
