Congregational music can be an act of praise, a vehicle for theology, an action of embodied community, as well as a means to a divine encounter. This multidisciplinary anthology approaches congregational music as media in the widest sense - as a multivalent communication action with technological, commercial, political, ideological and theological implications, where processes of mediated communication produce shared worlds and beliefs. Bringing together a range of voices, promoting dialogue across a range of disciplines, each author approaches the topic of congregational music from his or her own perspective, facilitating cross-disciplinary connections while also showcasing a diversity of outlooks on the roles that music and media play in Christian experience. The authors break important new ground in understanding the ways that music, media and religious belief and praxis become ’lived theology’ in our media age, revealing the rich and diverse ways that people are living, experiencing and negotiating faith and community through music.

’A valuable collection that throws new light on how new media technologies are interacting with the practices of Christian music-making, music-leadership and music-participation in congregational settings. It provides significant insights also into how these wider processes of cultural mediation taken up in congregational music are provoking a wider re-thinking and re-formation of Christian communities, beliefs and identity.’ Peter Horsfield, RMIT University, Australia ’Huge changes have occurred in Christian worship in the last fifty years. In the study of new and contemporary forms of worship, where would we be without the musicologists? Offering penetrating studies of contemporary changes, this volume is another welcome addition contributing to the study of Christian worship.’ Lester Ruth, Duke University, USA
