The Hip-Hop Church: Connecting With the Movement Shaping Our Culture

Great Hip-Hop Theology 2008-09-01

Reviewer: A. G. Reed

This is a great look at Hip-Hop culture and theology. I strongly recommend it, especially if you are in a ministry setting like mine: rural white and older. My congregation understands next to nothing about hip-hop culture and reacts with fear when confronted by it. This book gave some great insights that better equipped me to have discussions with my parishoners and help them to understand the cultural differences.
