Riassunto

Hailed by Life as one of the great preachers of our time; spiritual advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr.; the first black dean at a white university; cofounder of the first interracially pastored church in the United States; Howard Thurman was a man of penetrating foresight and astonishing charisma. In this lyrical collection of selections from his published and unpublished work, Thurman's words and the example of his actions show us that out of religious faith emerge social responsibility and the significance of living.
