Reviews
'It would be difficult to overpraise this book ... it breaks new ground, it is both insightful and highly informed and it is written in a style devoid of the obscurity that often mars musicological reflection.' Gordon Graham, Scottish Journal of Theology
'A book that is wide-ranging, stimulating and full of insight.' Musical Times
' ... a delightful exploration of the relevance of music for a variety of theological themes ... Begbie has written an excellent book, illuminating both of music and theology. It offers a great deal of stimulation for others to explore a relatively little developed field.' Stephen Carr, Theology
'An impressive tour de force of great originality and insight.' Expository Times
'It would be difficult to over-praise this book. It breaks new ground, it is both insightful and highly informed and it is written in a style devoid of the obscurity that often mars musicological reflection ... the most substantial book ever written on these themes.' Gordon Graham, Scottish Journal of Theology
'This is a book for those with a more than passing interest in both music and theology. Though a demanding work, Begbie's book expects specialist knowledge of neither, simply thoughtful engagement. It deserves a very wide readership because it offers an interdisciplinary study from two specialisms in both of which Begbie is a practitioner.' Theological Book Review
'... a brilliant work of integration. A wide range of musical examples abound and the theological sources are extensive ... if this subject is of any interest to you, I highly recommend it.' Geoff Colmer
