Abstract:
"The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Popular Music" provides the first systematic analysis of the most important themes and concepts in the field, combining research in religious studies, theology, critical musicology and sociology. It comprises thirty-three specifically commissioned essays from a team of international experts to explore the principal areas of inquiry, as well as suggesting new directions for scholarship. Featuring chapters on methodology, key genres, religious traditions and popular music subcultures, this volume provides the essential reference point for anyone with an interest in popular culture generally, as well as religion and popular music in particular. Religious traditions covered include Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Paganism and occultism. Coverage of genres and religion ranges from heavy metal, rap and hip hop to country music and film and television music. Edited by Christopher Partridge and Marcus Moberg, this Handbook defines the research field and provides an accessible entry point for new researchers in the field
