Collecting together such a variety of approaches allows newunderstandings to emerge from their juxtaposition and collation. This book will contribute tothe ongoing debate between theology, spirituality, culture and the arts. It includes contexts withstructured relationships between music and the Church alongside situations where spiritualityand music are explored with sometimes distant echoes of Divinity and ancient theologiesreinterpreted for the contemporary world.
