[edit] Salvation Army, various translations
Something should be mentioned about the importance of this hymn for the Salvation Army, about the controversies its military images call up in modern Christian communities (and how different these might be than those it invoked in the Progressive Era, among the Social Gospel movement, etc.), about its translations into various languages (German: Vorwärts, Christi Streiter!), and about the cultural connotations and possible association with fundamentalism.--Bhuck 15:11, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- If you've got the references, sure, go ahead and write it. Obviously, any description of the controversy would have to be in an NPOV context. --Ssilvers 21:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Boer War Te Deum
I believe the tune also appears in the final minutes of Sullivan's Boer War Te Deum.Shsilver 19:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
