Rock & Pop music; Theology

Series: Theology, Religion, and Pop Culture

Progressive Rock, Religion, and Theology examines progressive rock music’s engagement with theology and religion, which spans an array of artists and songs from its early days to the present. Co-written by a musician and a professor of religious studies, this book looks closely not only at lyrics but at the music itself and how the two together serve to foster the exploration of religious and spiritual themes from a wide array of angles. Each chapter covers a key song by ELP, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Rush, and Neal Morse as well as tracing the themes from those songs into other works by the same artist and the music of others. Readers will get to know music that is familiar to them through an academic lens, and will discover that its engagement with theological ideas, if not typically informed by study of academic theologians, is nonetheless at times both intellectually rigorous and profoundly insightful.

Reviews for Progressive Rock, Religion, and Theology

Artful academics meet art rock. Much like the music they analyze, Frank Felice and James F. McGrath’s scholarship is virtuosic, complex, and inventive. And also like the artists considered, their multidisciplinary approach, with its attention to music theory, poetics, and theology all at once, blurs genre boundaries. Deserves to be read with 2112––or equivalent, as tastes dictate––playing in the background. -- Michael Gilmour, Providence University College (Manitoba)
