Includes bibliographical references (leaves 213-222). This dissertation examines the recent emergence of popular recording artists who explicitly invoke the prophetic voices of their religious traditions in their music. In doing so, they situate their music within a pre-existing prophetic lineage. These musicians selfconsciously view their music as vehicle to spread a divine message, and they recognize that their lyrical voice can either become or echo a prophetic voice. 2015-01-05T07:05:06Z 2015-01-05T07:05:06Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11391 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
