As an interdisciplinary volume, the extensive introduction unpacks and clarifies terminology relating to the study of religion and popular music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cross-disciplinary approach of the book makes it accessible and appealing to scholars of religious studies, cultural studies, popular music studies and theology. Unlike existing collections dealing with popular music and religion that focus on a specific genre, this innovative book offers a range of music and case studies, with chapters written by international contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorgina Gregory\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Central Lancashire, UK.
