{"product_id":"protest-praise-29935","title":"Protest \u0026 Praise","description":"Here is a skillful tracing of two tracks in the evolution of musical genres that have evolved from black religion. 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.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564485935391,"sku":"9780800624040","price":42.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780800624040_47832.jpg?v=1769203796","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/protest-praise-29935","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
