In spite of extensive research and publishing on King, insufficient attention has been given to the convergence of ideas and action in his life. In an era where people are often sorted into the categories of "thinker" and "doer, King stands outa rare mix of the deeply profound thinker and intellect who put the fruit of that reflection into the service of direct social action.


Rufus Burrow Jr. is Indiana Professor of Christian Thought and professor of theological social ethics at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has written extensively on King for more than twenty years in books published by Westminster / John Knox Press, Chalice Press, and University of Notre Dame Press.
