Jackson\u003c\/i\u003e, from the Foreword\u003cbr\u003e Few black preachers have been better known that the Reverend C. L. Franklin; none has been considered a better preacher. This collection of twenty of Franklin's best sermons shows the development of his style. A learned man, Franklin had attended both seminary and college, yet in his sermons used the old-fashioned, extemporaneous style of preaching, \"whooping\" or chanting, combining oratory and intoned poetry to reach both head and heart.\u003cbr\u003e Dozens of Franklin's sermons were released on record albums, and he went on preaching tours with gospel groups that included his daughter, Aretha Franklin, reaching virtually every corner of the United States.\u003cbr\u003e This volume begins with Franklin's life history, told in his own words.\u003cbr\u003e In an afterword, Jeff Titon reviews the African-American sermon tradition\u003cbr\u003e and Franklin's place in it.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258686984536,"sku":"9780252060878","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780252060878.jpg?v=1778590888","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/give-me-this-mountain","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
