Description
This session will consider the scholarly contributions of Walter Brueggemann’s The Prophetic Imagination and Nahum Ward-Lev’s The Liberating Journey of the Hebrew Prophets and apply them to the music & performances of Pulitzer prize winning rapper Kendrick Lamar. We will look at how Lamar’s music is able to offer both prophetic criticism and prophetic energy for a world that so desperately needs both. This exploration will encourage participants to further consider the role of the artist in the prophetic task – including one’s own creative expressions.
