| Abstract
|
:
|
This book examines indications that U2's band members work at conscious and subconscious levels as artists who focus on matters of the spirit, religious traditions, and a life guided by both belief and doubt... This collection [of essays] will be of interest to scholars and students of religious studies, musicology, popular music, and the broader topics of religion and popular culture."--Back cover.
