Search for the Beloved Community: The Thinking of Martin Luther King Jr.

Updated from the original version published in 1974, Search for the Beloved Community examines the thinking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the influences that shaped it. Late co-author Kenneth L. Smith was one of King’s seminary professors. His firsthand knowledge of King’s seminary studies provides the background for an incisive analysis of the influences of the Christian tradition and of Mahatma Gandhi upon this outstanding leader.
