The Black Church and Hip Hop | Emmett G Price sku-17214406

The Black Church and Hip Hop Culture: Toward Bridging the Generational Divide is a hardcover listed under Emmett G Price in Christian Books & Bibles, SKU sku-17214406. The essays examine the Black Church's work for equality and economic self-sufficiency in the 1950s and 1960s alongside hip hop's emergence among disenfranchised urban youth.

They consider how hip hop can supplement or replace Sunday-morning faith for young people and ask what responsibilities the church and the Hip Hop Generation have to each other and to society. Its three sections address the passage of civil rights-era heritage to a new generation, conversations between hip hop and the church, and expressions of faith including gospel rap and holy hip hop.

Pastors, theologians, educators, scholars, activists and other contributors discuss commentary, analysis and approaches to forgiveness, healing, restoration and reconciliation.
