This book analyses religion and change in relation to music within
the context of contemporary progressive Judaism. It argues that
music plays a central role as a driving force for religious change,
comprising several elements seen as central to contemporary
religiosity in general: participation, embodiment, experience,
emotions and creativity. Focusing on the progressive Anglo-Jewish
milieu today, the study investigates how responses to these
processes of change are negotiated individually and collectively
and what role is allotted to music in this context. Building on
ethnographic research conducted at Leo Baeck College in London
(2014-2016), it maps how theologically unsystematic life-views take
form through everyday musical practices related to institutional
religion, identifying three theoretically relevant processes at
work: the reflexive turn, the turn within and the turn to
tradition.
