Opis

Music Making Congregations explores how contemporary worship music has brought new modes of congregating into being within evangelical Christianity. Through ethnographies of concert, conference, church, public, and networked congregations, this book shows how music shapes evangelical community relative to other groups in North America and beyond.

Recenzje

Ingalls' descriptions of evangelical visual piety with regard to images in worship is fascinating, especially her interviews with the creators of amateur worship videos who explain their motivations and aesthetic values...Ingalls' contribution in this book is a substantive theoretical examination of how congregations, aided by CWM, arise in increasingly diverse spaces.
