Some people hate rap and are sure God does, too. Others love it. Many of these who are Christians can't imagine why God would have any issues with rap-at least, not with songs by believers that encourage and edify them in the faith. Who's right? And why should we care?
This book starts with a sociological history of the emergence and development of rap. If you enjoy rap and hip-hop culture, you'll love this part. Then the meat of the book unpacks several fascinating passages of Scripture to explore a vital set of larger questions involving God, faith, and the arts. In the end, you'll have tools for thinking biblically about all forms of human artistic endeavor.
