Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This book explores the roots and relevance of Martin Luther King, Jr.s approach to black suffering. Kings conviction that unearned suffering is redemptive reflects a nearly 250-year-old tradition in the black church going back to the earliest Negro spirituals. From the bellies of slave ships, the foot of the lynching tree, and the back of segregated buses, black Christians have always maintained the hope that God could make a way out of no way and somehow bring good from the evils inflicted on them. As a product of the black church tradition, King inherited this widespread belief, developed it using Protestant liberal concepts, and deployed it throughout the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s as a central pillar of the whole non-violent movement. Recently, critics have maintained that Kings doctrine of redemptive suffering creates a martyr mentality which makes victims passive in the face of their suffering; this book argues against that critique. Kings concept offers real answers to important challenges, and it offers practical hope and guidance for how beleaguered black citizens can faithfully engage their suffering today. This book represents the first systematic study of Kings doctrine of redemptive suffering, a central tenet of his theology. It explores the roots and contemporary relevance of Kings redemptive suffering theodicy and answers his recent black humanist and womanist critics. This item is printed on demand.
