Bible of Love
Bible of Love (also known by its full title Snoop Dogg Presents Bible of Love) is the sixteenth studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg. It was released on March 16, 2018. Bible of Love serves as his debut gospel album much like Reincarnated (under his different persona Snoop Lion) served as his debut reggae album. Snoop himself served as executive producer over the entirety of the project. Bible of Love is also his first double studio LP as it features 32 tracks. -Wikipedia

CCM Magazine
One interesting standout is how seamless Snoop’s signature silky spitting lives so comfortably within the palette of such classic gospel timbres.

The Guardian
More plausible is the uneasy feeling that he is, and has long been, laughing at us.

He’s attempted his biggest gambit yet: an actual, honest-to-goodness gospel album.

Arena
Good gospel music. Perhaps Snoop was just ready to take a backseat and use his big name to lift some other people up-- including us, the listeners.
-
The Young Folks
Most of the time he’s just rapping about his realization of how much God and religion influences his daily life.
-
The Lindfield review
It is true to itself and proud of it, and the fact that Snoop Dogg’s name is on it is the only reason I, and probably you, listened to this album.

Gulf news
Big-tent version of the musical genre that can include flavours of soul, blues and R’n’B. Adding rap makes perfect sense.

Snoop Dogg Presents Bible of Love extends an invitation to worship at the altar of agape.
-
New Yorker
It makes sense, on a narrative level, that a man who has spent much of his life deviating and inventing would, at forty-six, become interested in expressions of redemption and forgiveness.
-
Hot New Hip Hop
The double album features an insane amount of guest appearances. Editor
-
All Music
Bible of Love is an admirable turn for the former Doggfather -- now grandfather -- and serves as a wholesome but inessential addition to Snoop's protean catalog.
-
Exclaim
While his intentions may have been pure, Snoop's attention to the assembling of this album needed a little more love.
-
Renowned for Sound
Most of the songs sound similar and after few minutes it gets boring. However, individually the majority of the tracks is great.
-
Very Smart Brothas
A collection of songs that speak to the experiences of the truth he wants to share.

Faithfully Magazine
Bible of Love, and some of the featured tracks force us to deal with this stark reality: the gospel is not reserved for just one sector of humanity.

The project, which was inspired by Snoop's late maternal grandmother, Dorothy Tate, who gave him his first introduction to gospel music as a child, promises “something for everybody,” particularly those who feel like they’re not accepted in church.

Thanks to Mr. Dogg, non-gospel folk will now be exposed to powerhouses like Tye Tribbett, whose infectious “You” makes hearts race, and K-Ci, whose voice flutters like a butterfly on “No One Else.
