What is Hip Hop? Hip hop speaks in a voice that is sometimes gruff,
sometimes enraged, sometimes despairing, sometimes hopeful. Hip hop
is the voice of forgotten streets laying claim to the high life of
rims and timbs and threads and bling. Hip hop speaks in the muddled
language of would-be prophets--mocking the architects of the status
quo and stumbling in the dark toward a blurred vision of a world
made right. What is hip hop? It's a cultural movement with a
traceable theological center. Daniel White Hodge follows the tracks
of hip-hop theology and offers a path from its center to the cross,
where Jesus speaks truth.
Sensing Sacred is an edited volume that explores the critical
intersection of "religion" and "body" through the religious lens of
practical theology, with an emphasis on sensation as the embodied
means in which human beings know themselves, others, and the divine
in the world. The manuscript argues that all human interaction and
practice, including religious praxis, engages "body" through at
least one of the human senses (touch, smell, hearing, taste, sight,
kinestics/proprioception). Unfortunately, body-and, more
specifically and ironically, sensation-is eclipsed in contemporary
academic scholarship that is inherently bent toward the realm of
theory and ideas. This is unfortunate because it neglects bodies,
physical or communal, as the repository and generator of culturally
conditioned ideas and theory. It is ironic because all knowledge
transmission minimally requires several senses including sight,
touch, and hearing. Sensing Sacred is organized into two parts. The
first section devotes a chapter to each human sense as an avenue of
accessing religious experience; while the second section explores
religious practices as they specifically focus on one or more
senses. The overarching aim of the volume is to explicitly
highlight each sense and utilize the theoretical lenses of
practical theology to bring to vivid life the connections between
essential sensation and religious thinking and practice.
The essays in this volume stress the legitimacy and importance of
the role of administering comfort and reassurance to the terminally
ill. This book is a practical guide for caring for the dying and
those they leave behind, written especially for the clergy. The
book is divided into three sections: an overview of the pastoral
role; death and dying; and loss and grief. Among the topics covered
are community resources, interdisciplinary care skills; education
and research; working with health care professionals; loss as an
experience in living; family issues in coping with change and loss
resulting from surgery and chronic illness; and issues and
strategies in managing anticipatory grief and bereavement.
