Appraisals of King's contributions began almost immediately and continue to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The author explores a great many of King's chief ideas and socio-ethical practices: 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. The book reveals 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Instructors considering this book for use in a course may  request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54177302151512,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786477869_b6cfb52e-a0c8-4a32-ad2c-2ce480936bb0.jpg?v=1777224619","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/martin-luther-king-jr-and-the-theology-of-resistance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
