Baptized in Dirty Water

“Theology is a ghost. For centuries, white theologians extolled the virtues of inclusion in Christ, while excluding black and brown folks from every dimension of Christian social life to the point of irrelevance. In Baptized in Dirty Water, hip-hop theologian Daniel White Hodge turns to the life (and death) of Tupac Shakur, presenting the artist through a theological register. In doing so, Hodge might just be resurrecting theology from its ghostly white reputation.”

Toward Afrodiasporic and Afrofuturist Philosophies of Religion

Philosophy

“Jon Ivan Gill is the philosopher of religion many of us need for the twenty-first century. Here, Gill’s innovation and courageous experimentation shines as he gives voice to the often unheard—the young, those from historically marginalized groups, and those who espouse and sustain the rich legacy of Black thought. Contributing to the ongoing conversations about Afrofuturism and its relationship to religion, Gill curates a fine set of essays useful for new and seasoned philosophers of religion alike.”
