Whether expressed by the artist or felt in the heart of the beholder, the often ineffable qualities of the spiritual and divine (perhaps even satanic), are materialized in the studies assembled here. As all good books of this kind do, the scope of engaging scholarship prompts further reflection and action. In so doing, it will provide an important touchstone for any of us who continue to have faith in the power of popular music. * Paul Long, Professor of Creative and Cultural Industries, Communications and Media Studies, Monash University, Australia * Popular music in its ever-evolving forms continues as a space for religious experience, or a gateway to it. With appropriate reverence for music once called anathema, this book takes scholarly interest in the intersection of self, sound and soul. Familiar pathways benefit from fresh perspectives and illumination falls on new trails. * Scott Calhoun, Professor of English, Cedarville University, USA, Director of The U2 Conference, and Editor of U2 and the Religious Impulse: Take Me Higher (Bloomsbury 2018) * This is a valuable collection of research into the relationships between popular music and various spiritualities. Well written and covering a great deal, it will be a key source to anyone working in this field. * Rupert Till, Professor of Music, University of Huddersfield, UK *
