First an expression of black urban youth, Hip Hop music continues
to expand as a cultural expression of youth and, now, young adults
more generally. As a cultural phenomenon, it has even become
integral to the worship experience of a growing number of churches
who are reaching out to these groups. This includes not just
African American churches but churches of all ethnic groups. Once
seen as advocating violence, Hip Hop can be the Church s agent of
salvation and praise to transform society and reach youth and young
adults in greater numbers. After looking at Hip Hop s
socio-historical context including its African roots, Wake Up shows
how Hip Hop has come to embody the worldview of growing numbers of
youth and young adults in today s church. The authors make the case
that Hip Hop represents the angst and hope of many youth and young
adults and that by examining the inherent religious themes embedded
in the music, the church can help shape the culture of hip-hop by
changing its own forms of preaching and worship so that it can more
effectively offer a message of repentance and liberation. "
