Hip Hop's Hostile Gospel: A Post-Soul Theological Exploration

by Daniel White Hodge

Is there such a thing as a Hip Hop ‘theology’? Drawing on interviews from those in the Hip Hop community, and a critical engagement with the theological and ecclesiological ruminations of over 8,500 songs, Hodge aims to paint a picture of what a Hip Hop theology of community might entail, how it may look, and what it could feel like.
