Abstract

Speaking to his supporters at end of Montgomery bus boycott in 1956, Martin Luther King, Jr., declared that their common goal was not simply end of segregation as an institution. Rather, the end is reconciliation, end is redemption, end is creation of beloved King's words reflect strong religious convictions that motivated civil rights movement in South in its early days. Standing courageously on Judeo-Christian foundations of their moral commitments, civil rights leaders sought to transform social and political realities of twentieth-century America. In The Beloved Community, Charles Marsh shows that same spiritual vision that animated civil rights movement remains a vital source of moral energy today. The Beloved Community lays out an exuberant new vision for progressive Christianity and reclaims centrality of faith in quest for social justice and authentic community.
