Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28748 ratings)

Description:In the midst of oppression, poverty, violence, and insufficiency where survival takes priority over salvation, what theology speaks to this condition? Black Theology and Holy Hip-hop are important to understand and promote, especially in their relationship to inner-city ministry and spiritual development, primarily in regards to black and brown youth. This work investigates the complex crises experienced among our black and brown youth, with special focus on the inner-city. Black Theology and Holy Hip-hop is less about people and more about institutions--the dichotomy between the institution of the church and the social institution of music that affects young people's mindset. This book will examine how a double-edged sword of Black Theology and Holy Hip-hop will cut a new faith in inner-city ministry that will initiate freedom against personal pain and systemic oppression, on the one hand, and free minds from self-hate and submissive control on the other. "A crisis threatens America's urban communities. Scores of socially disaffected youth are neglected by the church. It is not so much that the church is unaware of these youth, as it is the church simply lacks the means of communicating the Gospel to them in a meaningful and relevant way. Willie Hudson has confronted the problem and pioneered a strategy of reaching these youth through the vehicles of Black Theology and Holy Hip Hop." --Kenneth L. Waters Sr., Associate Dean of the School of Theology, Azusa Pacific University "The sub-field of Hip Hop and Religion has grown exponentially over the last six years. Dr. Hudson's work adds yet another dimension to this fast-growing field. Hudson gets to a concentrated amount of content in a short amount of time, dealing with Hip Hop, theology, race, racism, structural inequality, and how Hip Hop creates space for new dialogue. The Holy Ghost Got a New Dance is a must-have text for both undergraduate and graduate seminary courses as we continue to learn more about Hip Hop and its socio-theological connections." --Daniel White Hodge, PhD, North Park University Chicago; Author of The Soul Of Hip Rimbs, Timbs, & A Cultural Theology and Hip Hop's Hostile A Post-Soul Theological Exploration Willie Hudson (a.k.a. The Bridge) holds a Bachelor's in Christian Ministry, and a MDiv and DMin from Azusa Pacific Seminary. He is an Associate Pastor at Bible Enrichment Fellowship International Church, Inglewood, California; Adjunct Professor at Facultad De Teologia, Montebello, California; and Director and Professor of Bible Enrichment School of Theology, Inglewood.
