Anthony Pinn, ed. Noise and Spirit: The Religious and Spiritual Sensibilities of Rap Music
This anthology was really hit or miss for me, but the essays by Ralph Watkins and Mark Taylor were pretty good. You'd probab;y be better off just reading Michael Dyson's book on Tupac.
Heather Hendershot's Shaking the World for Jesus
This was last week's book for class, but I forgot to write about it. It's mainly about mass media being produced by evangelical Christians; there's a chapter on Christian music which is pretty good, but could really have been amazing if it was stronger and better-supported. She has some interesting things to say about Veggie Tales, though.
