Blues Theology

About this episode

This episode explores the intersection of theology and the blues, highlighting how music can emerge from oppression and convey hope.

Some of the best music you will ever hear has emerged from a place of persecution and oppression, and, rather than dwelling in hopelessness and despair, has proclaimed through its very existence and through its great beauty that there is something more. This service will explore theology as a genre of the blues. www.sunnyhill.org
