| X | ôThe Thesisö is a lyrical exploration of the concept of God as | X |
| X | the initiator and benefactor of the Gospel in song, i.e. Holy Hip | X |
| X | Hop. In it, The Ambassador proposes that God is pleased when His | X |
| X | people skillfully use Hip Hop to reach the lost by creatively | X |
| X | dispensing His Word. He further asserts that Holy Hip Hop is part | X |
| X | of GodÆs plan to reach mankind with the Gospel and that it should | X |
| X | be used as a tool to do so. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Against the backdrop of Hip HopÆs cultural significance and | X |
| X | theologyÆs critical importance, The Ambassador skillfully proves | X |
| X | the validity of Holy Hip-Hop as a God-given tool of the urban | X |
| X | missionary. In ôThe Thesisö he summarizes Holy Hip-HopÆs | X |
| X | origins, past, present and future as a mechanism for | X |
| X | communicating a biblical worldview and employs all that Hip-Hop | X |
| X | has to offer from head-banginÆ beats to lyrical mastery. The | X |
| X | result is a compelling example of theologically anchored Hip-Hop | X |
| X | that is an undeniably powerful tool for fulfilling GodÆs cultural | X |
| X | mandate. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | In 1999 The Ambassador released ôChristology: In LaymenÆs Termsö, | X |
| X | an album that instantly became a Holy Hip-Hop classic and today | X |
| X | is considered a standard of the genre. After four Cross Movement | X |
| X | albums (Human Emergency, Holy Culture, Higher Definition, Gift | X |
| X | Rap) and an international tour, The Ambassador is once again | X |
| X | spearheading the charge to evangelize and disciple, while | X |
| X | challenging GodÆs people to ôcome out the closetö and engage the | X |
| X | Hip-Hop culture without compromising the truth of GodÆs Word. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | William ôDuceö Branch aka ôThe Ambassadorö is co-founder and | X |
| X | spokesperson for The Cross Movement, President of the non-profit | X |
| X | organization Cross Movement Ministries, and also speaks and | X |
| X | preaches nationally at churches and events across the country. | X |
| X | Duce has devoted himself to urban ministry for nearly 14 years, | X |
| X | with a particular focus on reaching the Hip-Hop culture for | X |
| X | Christ. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Bible from | X |
| X | Lancaster Bible College as well as a MasterÆs degree in Theology | X |
| X | from Dallas Theological Seminary. His masterÆs thesis, | X |
| X | Theological Implications of Hip-Hop Culture serves as both the | X |
| X | inspiration for the album and prelude to a book further exploring | X |
| X | the issues. | X |
