Church Music and Protestantism in Post-Reformation England

Discourses, Sites and Identities

By: Jonathan Willis

Church Music and Protestantism in Post-Reformation England' breaks new ground in the religious history of Elizabethan England, through a closely focused study of the relationship between the practice of religious music and the complex process of Protestant identity formation. Hearing was of vital importance in the early modern period, and music was one of the most prominent, powerful and emotive elements of religious worship. But in large part, traditional historical narratives of the English Reformation have been distinctly tone deaf. Recent scholarship has begun to take increasing notice of some elements of Reformed musical practice, such as the congregational singing of psalms in meter. This book marks a significant advance in that area, combining an understanding of theory as expressed in contemporary religious and musical discourse, with a detailed study of the practice of church music in key sites of religious worship. Divided into three sections - 'Discourses', 'Sites', and 'Identities' - the book begins with an exploration of the classical and religious discourses which underpinned sixteenth-century understandings of music, and its use in religious worship. It then moves on to an investigation of the actual practice of church music in parish and cathedral churches, before shifting its attention to the people of Elizabethan England, and the ways in which music both served and shaped the difficult process of Protestantisation. Through an exploration of these issues, and by reintegrating music back into the Elizabethan church, we gain an expanded and enriched understanding of the complex evolution of religious identities, and of what it actually meant to be Protestant in post-Reformation England.

All According to God's Plan

Southern Baptist Missions and Race, 1945-1970

By: Alan Scot Willis

Southern Baptists had long considered themselves a missionary people, but when, after World War II, they embarked on a dramatic expansion of missionary efforts, they confronted headlong the problem of racism. Believing that racism hindered their evangelical efforts, the Convention's full-time missionaries and mission board leaders attacked racism as unchristian, thus finding themselves at odds with the pervasive racist and segregationist ideologies that dominated the South. This progressive view of race stressed the biblical unity of humanity, encompassing all races and transcending specific ethnic divisions. In All According to God's Plan, Alan Scot Willis explores these beliefs and the chasm they created within the Convention. He shows how, in the post-World War II era, the most respected members of the Southern Baptists Convention publicly challenged the most dearly held ideologies of the white South.

Old Family, Old Secrets

By: Max Willis Foxton

With his sister’s urging, elderly Jeremiah recounts the first of their many youthful adventures. Jeremiah and Susanne discover a lot of the Morris clan’s family history, and young Jeremiah is only beginning to figure things out. The whole mess starts when Jeremiah’s family visits the grandparents in Britain. It soon becomes freakishly apparent that most of Jeremiah’s ancestors, dating back to 1745, currently reside in Nana and Papa’s attic—and they are full of useful information. It turns out, his eighth great-uncle Edgar was wrongly hanged for murder centuries ago. Inspired by Edgar’s parents, the Earl Mortimer and the Countess Leila, Jeremiah, with Susanne, decides to help his disgraced relative and solve a mystery from the 1700s to bring closure to Edgar and his beloved Jemima. Throughout his investigations, Jeremiah makes a shocking discovery: some of his ancestors really were killers. As he solves an old mystery, a new murder has to be stopped: Jeremiah’s own! With the help of other quick-thinking ancestors, he must avoid becoming another dead occupant of Papa’s attic. To stay alive, Jeremiah will quickly learn what kindness and fair play can do against evil.
