"In Scoring Transcendence , Callaway challenges us to listen carefully to the soundtracks that enliven the most inspiring movies. He dials into the pitch, tone, and timbre that underscore Pixar's beloved stories. Callaway demonstrates a remarkable ear to hear the revelatory moments in complex films from Magnolia to There Will Be Blood. This is an essential addition to the burgeoning arena of theology and film." --Craig Detweiler, Director, Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture, Pepperdine University
