Wake Up: Hip-Hop, Christianity, and the Black Church

Description

Wake Up shows how Hip-Hop has come to embody the worldview of growing numbers of youth and young adults in today’s church. The authors make the case that Hip-Hop represents the angst and hope of many youth and young adults and that by examining the inherent religious theme embedded in the music, the church can help shape the culture of Hip-Hop by changing its own forms of preaching and worship so that it can more effectively offer a message of repentance and liberation.
