The Bible and Music

Typically we have class on Tuesday, but last Tuesday class was canceled to looked for biblical allusions/references to the Bible. I found it quite amazing to participate in a project like this because a lot of artists reference God, and I have no idea that there were that many.

I think that this was very informative for me to do. Sometimes I know that I listen to music without listening very closely to the lyrics. After I decided to listen closely, I was shocked that there were so many references. One that I noticed that was also talked about in class was Forbidden Fruit by J. Cole. I knew that the song was referring to the story of Adam and Eve. After I listened to the song, it was amazing how many references there were to the Bible itself.
