The Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. explores the development of
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s understanding of the relationship between
religion, morality, law, and politics. This fascinating work is
part of a broader effort by scholars in various fields to examine
unexplored areas in the life, thought, and activism of Martin
Luther King, Jr., and it represents the first book length treatment
of how King united moral-religious convictions and political
activity. This timely study is also the first in-depth analysis of
King's views on the roles that religion and morality ought to play,
not only in public debate concerning political choices and law, but
also in efforts to create political and legal structures that are
just and to perpetuate participatory democracy. Beginning with the
social, political, and economic implications of King's vision of
the "New South" and his prophetic critique of southern civil
religion, this pathbreaking study casts King in the role of
"political liberal," "consummate politician," and "political
theologian." The Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. focuses
considerable attention on King's refusal to separate religious
faith and moral considerations from politics, legal matters, and
social reformism. In so doing, it demonstrates King's remarkable
ability to transcend church-state boundaries and to formulate an
alliance that permeated every facet of American life. Featuring
four chapters by Lewis V. Baldwin-a leading authority on King-as
well as a chapter by Rufus Burrow, Jr., and one co-authored by
Barbara Holmes and the Honorable Susan Holmes Winfield, this volume
reveals how King moved beyond southern particularism to create a
more democratic America and a more inclusive world. Among the
topics covered are King's relationship to various American
political traditions and figures, King's theories of civil
disobedience and his understanding of the Constitution, and the
influence of moral law and personal idealism on King's teachings.
As debates over faith-based initiatives rage in America's modern
political arena, Baldwin's lucid analysis of King's writings on the
boundaries that exist between church and state, politics and
religion, offers a valuable resource to those engaged in public and
private discussions of this important topic.
