In this interesting and important introduction to the life and thought of Martin Luther King Jr., theologian Rufus Burrow explores Kings life as well as his thinking and activism. Burrow addresses those who see King as only a social activist by showing how his studies, particularly his theological studies, influenced, shaped, and transformed the activist path he pursued during his public life. This book, with dozens of illustrations by artist Ron Hill, is written for a broad audience. It explores Kings legacy, the continuing importance of his work, and it will serve as an excellent introduction to Kings life and thinking.Written by experts but designed for the novice, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound moments and theologians in Christian history. These books are essential supplements for first-time encounters with primary texts, lucid refreshers for scholars and clergy, and enjoyable reads for the theologically curious.
P>Review With clever and instructive illustrations, the book is clear and engaging, enriching readers understanding of King while also demonstrating how his ideas and methods transcend his person, time and place for application today. --Publishers Weekly, May 2009 About the Author: Rufus Burrow Jr. is Indiana Professor of Christian Thought and Professor of Theological Social Ethics at Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis.
