“…A number of features underscore the compiler's methodical approach to the task at hand. Not only is he thoroughly at home with Rosenbach's bibliography and its successors, but as we have already indicated, he has checked standard bibliographies of Americana, by Evans (1903-34;1955-59), Shipton (1969), Shaw (1958-63;1965-66), Shoemaker (1964-71;1972-73), and others. Wherever an entry for a work appears in any of these sources, a citation to them is given within Singerman's entry as well.…”

DescriptionJudaica Americana is an "enumerative" rather than "analytical" bibliography. In other words, its compiler was less interested in "physical characteristics such as paper or binding or textual variants and the ordering of printing states" (p. xxiii), and concentrated instead on providing "a sense, not a census" of a field. In Singerman's words,The work presented here attempts to bring under bibliographic control a significant body of printed monographic and serial literature pertaining to Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture published in the United States, in any language, through 1900. The monographs recorded here need not relate to the American Jewish experience to warrant inclusion in this resource. Similarly, it will be readily apparent that a high percentage of the titles are authored by non-Jews, many of whom are not even Americans. (p. [xxi])Judaica Americana also fits into the categories of national bibliography (Americana) and subject bibliography (Judaica). Comprehensive bibliographies of Americana -books and serials printed within the territory of the presentday United States (to take one possible definition of the field) -do not yet extend past the mid-1830s in their coverage. Large-scale bibliographies for later decades do exist for certain genres, such as Lyle Henry Wright's three bibliographies of American fiction, covering the years 1774-1900 (1965, 1966, 1969). Singerman has made use of all available printed bibliographies of Americana; he has also been the beneficiary of several previous attempts to

The hymns of evangelical Protestantism are the most widely used spiritual texts in American history. Sacred lyrics like “All hail the power of Jesus' name,” “Jesus, lover of my soul,” “How firm a foundation,” and “When I survey the wondrous cross” have been sung, preached, and prayed by millions of Americans since the eighteenth century. At worship, revivals, youth services, conferences, conventions, and colleges, and in the family circle, these hymns have been ceaselessly repeated in an unending round of living oral tradition. Since the Great Awakening two and a half centuries ago, the churches of the evangelical tradition have published tens of thousands of hymn texts and tunes. This continuous popularity since colonial times establishes hymnody as a crucial expression of American evangelical religiousness.
