New Book: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Theology of Resistance, by Rufus Burrow

Robert WoodsNews: Other Leave a Comment

Culled from Amazon: The author explores King’s chief ideas and social-ethical practice: his concept of a moral universe; his doctrine of human dignity; his belief that not all suffering is redemptive; his brand of personalism; his contribution to the development of social ethics; the inclusion of young people in the movement; sexism as a contradiction to his personalism; the problem of black-on-black violence, and others. Burrows’ essays reveal both the strengths and the limitations in King’s theological socio-ethical project, and shows him to have relentlessly applied personalist ideas to organized nonviolent resistance campaigns in order to change the world.
