Christian Music with Good Theology?

Where do you find music with excellent theology? You might have to turn your ear to my favourite Puritan rap artist if you want to actually learn something biblical and worthwhile. I'm not speaking of the whole genre of course but there is a guy called Shai Linne on the scene who does hip hop with amazing reformed theology.

Theologically Shai is a Calvinist who packs more theology into a 3 minute song than many evangelical preachers do into a 45 minute sermon. Shai is a guy off the streets who finds inspiration from reading classics like "The Cross of Christ" by John Stott as well as preachers like Paul Washer, John Piper, and CJ Mahaney - How cool is that!!

Here is a track from Shai's new album "Atonement" called "Were You There" . . . you just gotta listen to this!



Shai has also been discussed and played on my favorite radio show Way of the Master Radio . . .

Can't believe the sharpness of his theology.
