Description
This is not focused on hip-hop specifically, but I touch on hip-hop often as examples of my own musical journey and experience of music's ability to invite us into crossing social boundaries. My approach here is largely a marriage of sociology of music, Christology, and theological anthropology. If desired, I could also adapt this paper to more explicitly address hip-hop culture.
