Wonderful Words of Life: Hymns in American Protestant History and Theology

by Mark A. Noll and Richard J. Mouw

Book Overview

While many evangelical congregations have moved away from hymns and hymnals, these were once central fixtures in the evangelical tradition. This book examines the role and importance of hymns in evangelicalism, not only as a part of worship but as tools for theological instruction, as a means to identity formation, and as records of past spiritual experiences of the believing community.
