Music and Spirituality
The composer Sir James MacMillan has often referred to music as ‘the most spiritual of the arts’, and for many people, regardless of religious affiliation, this rings true. In listening to music, we are drawn to dimensions of human experience beyond the material.

Organised in three parts – theological approaches, empirical methods, and Christian worship – the volume covers a vibrant array of topics.

The Dardenne Brothers’ Cinematic Parables

The Extravagance of Music
This book explores the ways in which music can engender religious experience, by virtue of its ability to evoke the ineffable and affect how the world is open to us.

In Part I, David Brown argues that even in the absence of words, classical instrumental music can disclose something of the divine nature that allows us to speak of an experience analogous to contem...
