Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Conversion to Orthodox Christianity has been one of the most unexpected and therefore revealing phenomena of religious and social transformation in Estonia since the Singing Revolution of 1987 to 1991. Singing is one of the principal ways Estonian converts encounter, experience, assimilate and perform Orthodox Christian teaching and tradition. The kind of singing I examine is crucial in conversion because it puts in practice and makes sensible a morality rooted in liturgy, a theologically sound aesthetics, and a particular soteriological doctrine.
