Produktbeschreibung

Evangelical hymns constituted a cherished part of communal Christian life and served as an important and effective way to teach doctrine. These hymns served an additional social purpose in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: they gave evangelical women a voice in their churches. By comparing male and female hymnists' use of rhetorical forms, June Hadden Hobbs shows how women utilized the only oral communication allowed to them in public worship.
