Hymns and Constructions of Race: Mobility, Agency, De/Coloniality examines how the hymn, historically and today, has reinforced, negotiated, and resisted constructions of race. It brings together diverse perspectives from musicology, ethnomusicology, theology, anthropology, performance studies, history, and postcolonial scholarship to show how the hymn has perpetuated, generated, and challenged racial identities. The global range of contributors cover a variety of historical and geographical contexts, with case studies from China and Brazil to Suriname and South Africa. They explore the hymn as a product of imperialism and settler colonialism and as a vehicle for sonic oppression and/or resistance, within and beyond congregational settings. The volume contends that the lived tradition of hymn-singing, with its connections to centuries of global Christian mission, is a particularly apt lens for examining both local and global negotiations of race, power, and identity. It will be relevant for scholars interested in religion, music, race, and postcolonialism.

In this book you will find hope in every book of the Bible. This book is a day by day journey. Grace is defined as a gift. We will read about the hope God extends to us in this gift. We receive the gift of hope as we search God's Word. We begin in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.," and traveling through to Revelation 22:21, "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen." "And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us" Romans 5:5. Joyce Pearson is a Ministry Associate with "Freedom in Christ Ministries" where she is involved as a Community Freedom Minister and Regional Prayer Coordinator for the South Central United States. She is a leader for "Precept Inductive Bible Studies." Joyce teaches a Sunday school class for women of all ages. She is involved in a ministry that disciples younger women. Joyce has taught community Bible study classes. She has written "Godly Motivation," a Bible study, and "Breaking Bread With The Brokenhearted," a book that gives hope for the grieving. She has spoken internationally. Joyce began writing "The Grace of Hope" before her husband became ill. The messages from God's Word gave her hope during his illness and after his passing. During the reformatting of this book, Joyce's oldest son was taken with a heart attack at the age of 54. The message of this book has been the balm of Gilead to her. Joyce is the mother of three sons, one daughter, one daughter-in-law and one son-in-law. She is the grandmother of 12 and the great grandmother of 4.

The aim of this exceptional book is to explore some of the contributions made by Protestant Nonconformity to Christian missions. The occasion of the conference which gave rise to the volume was the centenary of the Edinburgh Missionary Conference of 1910, but the topics treated here deliberately range more widely, covering missions in Britain and the wider world from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.
