Synopsis
Despite the central role of music in religion, academic theology has treated its sacred significance as a peripheral concern. In a provocative exploration of the connections between theology and music theory, Blackwell redresses this balance. Bringing together the perspectives of different Christian traditions, he uses the concept of 'sacramental potential' to show how these two interdependent 'realms of experience veiled in mystery' can work together in worship to place the essence of the divine in human minds.

Product Description
This volume shows how music serves the sacred. It discusses secular and Christian attitudes to music, especially the use of music in seeking salvation, and music's liturgical forms. The final chapter deals with bliss and ecstasy.
