Why is it important?
The Bloomsbury Handbooks are important academic guides to live areas of cultural debate and analysis. Religion and popular music is a field currently under discussion and this chapter on folk music makes an important contribution to a growing area of study.
Perspectives
This chapter takes the work that I have done with Professor Clive Marsh in "Personal Jesus: How Popular Music Shapes our Souls" (Baker Academic, 2012) and subsequent articles and applies to a different area of study.
