In these eloquent essays, the noted scholar and activist Vincent
Harding reflects on the forgotten legacy of Martin Luther King,
Jr., and the meaning of his life today. Many of these reflections
are inspired by the ambiguous message surrounding the official
celebration of King's birthday. Harding sees a tendency to freeze
an image of King from the period of his early leadership of the
Civil Rights movement, the period culminating with his famous "I
Have a Dream Speech". Harding writes passionately of King's later
years, when his message and witness became more radical and
challenging to the status quo at every level. In those final years
before his assassination King took up the struggle against racism
in the urban ghettos of the North; he became an eloquent critic of
the Vietnam war; he laid the foundations for the Poor People's
Campaign. This widening of his message and his tactics entailed
controversy even within his own movement. But they point to a
consistent expansion of his critique of American injustice and his
solidarity with the oppressed. It was this spirit that brought him
to Memphis in 1968 to lend his support to striking sanitation
workers. It was there that he paid the final price for his
prophetic witness.
Why Jesus? is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that your guests might be thinking about when first attending your church or Alpha:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why do we need Him?
- Why did He have to die?
- Why is He relevant to my life today?
These booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services or at Alpha, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way. Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, "Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself." Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.
