The Prophetic Gospel of Tupac Shakur: Daniel White Hodge

Professor Daniel White Hodge returns to Things Not Seen to discuss the legacy of Tupac Amaru Shakur, not only as a cultural icon, but as a figure who was deeply engaged in religious and theological reflection about the late 20th century American context.

We discuss his book, Baptized in Dirty Water: Reimagining the Gospel According to Tupac Amaru Shakur.

In this episode, we pick up on the conversation that began in 2018, where Dr. White Hodge spoke to our listeners about the Hip-Hop mission of the church.
