What is The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities (Oxford Handbooks) about?

__The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities__ investigates music's role in everyday practice and social history across the diversity of Christian religions and practices around the globe. The volume explores Christian communities in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia as sites of transmission, transformation, and creation of deeply diverse musical traditions. The book's contributors, while mostly rooted in ethnomusicology, examine Christianities and their musics in methodologically diverse ways, engaging with musical sound and structure, musical and social history, and ethnography of music and musical performance.

It also tries to take account of the religious self-understandings of these groups, presenting Christ
