Popkultur prägt unsere Lebenswelt – aber wie klingt ein Gottesdienst, der diese Wirklichkeit lebendig aufgreift? Dieser Band versammelt Theologinnen, Musikerinnen und Praktikerinnen, die Popgottesdienste denken, feiern und weiterentwickeln. Er bietet Texte zu Sprache, Liturgie und Ästhetik, erzählt die Geschichte von Beatmesse bis Rave-Osternacht und zeigt, wie Popmusik Atmosphäre, Sprache und Haltung prägen kann. Dazu kommen Gottesdienstentwürfe aus der Praxis sowie poetische Impulse zu Popsongs – bereit zur direkten Verwendung. Ein Buch für Haupt- und Ehrenamtliche: von der Lektorin zur Pastorin, vom interessierten Laien zur Expertin, für Musikmachende wie für Wortteams – theologisch reflektiert und nah an der Praxis.

[God is a DJ. Thinking About and Celebrating Pop Church Services]
Pop culture shapes our lives – but what does a church service that brings this reality to life sound like? This volume brings together theologians, musicians and practitioners who conceive, celebrate and develop pop church services. It offers texts on language, liturgy and aesthetics, tells the story from Beat Mass to Rave Easter Vigil, and shows how pop music can shape atmosphere, language and attitude. In addition, there are practical church service plans and poetic ideas for pop songs – ready for immediate use. A book for full-time and voluntary workers: from lecturers to pastors, from interested lay people to experts, for musicians and word teams – theologically reflective and close to practice.
