A Cappella “Music” in a Mainline Presbyterian Seminary

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Jay F Guin

It’s a Romans rap! It’s a Romans rap!

Is this contextualization?  Or what?

Knowing a little Calvinism and the attitude of the Presbyterian Church toward [censored] helps. There’s an inside joke or two buried in the lyrics.

But, you know, at least it’s a cappella.

Now, who among us would be willing to teach Romans this way?

    Bravo! Of course, the stiff-white-guy-rapping schtick gets plenty of abuse, but I actually thought this was a great lesson on Romans! Especially for only being about seven minutes long. That was a great teaching tool, IMO.

    White people should not do this, as a general rule.

    JMF,

    I agree that it was a great lesson (with a couple of exceptions). And a great teaching tool. That I will never, ever attempt.
