Music Theology Amp Justice

Using a variety of methodological perspectives, this volume explores ethical and doctrinal implications in the social practice of music. Grouped according to the threefold ministry of Christ (prophet, priest, shepherd) the essays discuss a wide range of musics—from medieval chant and psalmody to protest songs, metal, and Daft Punk.
