A comprehensive, relativistic many-body approach to hadron structure is advanced based on the Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian. Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking naturally emerges, and both quarks and gluons acquire constituent masses when standard many-body techniques are employed. Gluonia are studied both in the valence and in the collective, random phase approximations. Calculated quenched glueball masses are found to be in remarkable agreement with lattice gauge theory when using representative values for the strong coupling constant and string tension.
