Reformed Rap comes of Age: Shai Linne on The Hypostatic Union

January 28, 2013 by Randal

I am not a big fan of rap, hip hop, or any combination thereof. But I’ve long respected the work of Shai Linne. This brother backs more theology into a four minute rap song than most evangelical pastors fit into a four week sermon series. His latest single, called “The Hypostatic Union,” includes clever and theologically loaded lyrics like the following:

By faith we believe this amazing Jesus

who made Uranus and Venus became a fetus

is such a seed that few if anybody knew it

months later he’s covered in amniotic fluid

the subject of the gospels, praise of the apostles

armed with eye sockets, arm pits and nostrils
