In
Speaking Words of Wisdom: The Beatles and Religion, leading and emerging scholars from a number of fields (religion, music history, philosophy, sociology, etc.) explore the subject of religion in the Beatles' lives, music, reception, and legacy. There are chapters on religious life in Liverpool at the time the Beatles were growing up, how each individual Beatle understood matters of ultimate concern, the ways in which Beatlemania was a religious phenomenon, and how the Beatles’ authority has been religiously imagined in positive and negative ways since their breakup.
