american hymnody

I found the chapter on American Hymnody particularly interesting. Learning the heritage of our "founding fathers" who made such huge contributions to the church while our country was still being formed is just so fascinating to me. I thought it was really neat to read about how great English indivudals like George Whitefield visited and shared their wealth of knowledge with the early-Americans, aiding in a revival throughout the colonies. To think about what an incredible foundation our country has is astounding. We are so priviledged to be founded upon the principles laid down by Scripture, and presented to us by people like Whitefield and Edwards.
