Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

King's bedrock faith is the centerpiece of this examination of his sermons. In the pulpit, King articulated a vision, one that he courageously defended by his actions. Individual sermons are placed within the context of their times, and luminaries such as Billy Graham and Desmond Tutu provide commentary.
