{"product_id":"the-hum-call-and-response-in-african-american-preaching-9780687180202","title":"The Hum: Call and Response in African American Preaching","description":"In\u003ci\u003e The Hum: Call and Response in African Preaching\u003c\/i\u003e, Evans E. Crawford, with Thomas H. Troeger, relates his analysis of African American folk preaching by relying upon an indigenous scheme for evaluation. The call\/response tension in black preaching (derived from a West African tradition) is what drives the musicality of speech in black churches. Crawford refers to this musicality as hum thoughts and one can imagine the choir responding with a low rumbling hum to the musical intonations of a motivated preacher. Key features: a new volume in the Abingdon Preacher's Library, edited by Thomas H. Troeger; a different approach to preaching, firmly rooted in the black experience; leads the reader to understand preaching as an oral event; uses the term homiletical musicality to describe the musical understanding of the way sermons are heard and the oral response they awaken in the listener; and, coins new phrases for describing the preaching event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evans Crawford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abingdon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.62w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780687180202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrawford, Evans:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Interim Dean, Howard University School of Divinity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abingdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40113775575155,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9c63c608-b742-4217-a2fd-dd7beb8fdd67.jpg?v=1653488653","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-hum-call-and-response-in-african-american-preaching-9780687180202","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
