Draws on writings only recently made accessible - including the
correspondence between Bonhoeffer and his teen-age fiance, Maria
von Wedemeyer
Modern approaches to public relations cluster into three camps
along a continuum: conflict-oriented egoism, e.g. forms of
contingency theory that focus almost exclusively on the wellbeing
of an entity; redressed egoism, e.g. subsidies to redress PR's
egoistic nature; and forms of self-interested cooperation, e.g.
fully functioning society theory. Public Relations, Cooperation,
and Justice draws upon interdisciplinary research from evolutionary
biology, philosophy, and rhetoric to establish that relationships
built on cooperation and justice are more productive than those
built on conflict and egoistic competition. Just as important, this
innovative book shuns normative, utopian appeals, offering instead
only empirical, materialistic evidence for its conclusions.This is
a powerful, multidisciplinary, and well-documented analysis,
including specific strategies for the enactment of PR as a quest
for cooperation and justice, which aligns the discipline of public
relations with basic human nature. It will be of interest to
scholars and advanced students of public relations and
communication ethics.
This book expands the theoretical foundations of modern public
relations, a growing young profession that lacked even a name until
the twentieth century. As the discipline seeks guiding theories and
paradigms, rhetorics both ancient and modern have proven to be
fruitful fields of exploration. Charles Marsh presents Isocratean
rhetoric as an instructive antecedent. Isocrates was praised by
Cicero and Quintilian as "the master of all rhetoricians," favored
over Plato and Aristotle. By delineating the strategic value of
Isocratean rhetoric to modern public relations, Marsh addresses the
call for research into the philosophical, theoretical, and ethical
origins of the field. He also addresses the call among scholars of
classical rhetoric for modern relevance. Because Isocrates
maintained that stable relationships must solicit and honor
dissent, Marsh analyzes both historic and contemporary challenges
to Isocratean rhetoric. He then moves forward to establish the
modern applications of Isocrates in persuasion, education,
strategic planning, new media, postmodern practices, and paradigms
such as excellence theory, communitarianism, fully functioning
society theory, and reflection.

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

It was not that long ago that African Americans and other
minorities were excluded from many spheres of American public life.
We have seen remarkable progress in recent decades toward Martin
Luther King Jr.'s dream of beloved community. But this is not only
because of the activism and sacrifice of a certain generation of
civil rights leaders. It happened because God was on the move.
Historian and theologian Charles Marsh partners with veteran
activist John Perkins to chronicle God's vision for more equitable
and just world. They show how the civil rights movement was one
important episode in God's larger movement throughout human history
of pursuing justice and beloved community. Perkins reflects on his
long ministry and identifies key themes and lessons he has learned,
and Marsh highlights the legacy of Perkins's work in American
society. Together they show how abandoned places are being
restored, divisions are being reconciled, and what individuals and
communities are now doing to welcome peace and justice. The God
Movement continues yet today. Come, discover your part in the
beloved community. There is unfinished work still to do.

In the summer of 1964, the turmoil of the civil rights movement
reached its peak in Mississippi, with activists across the
political spectrum claiming that God was on their side in the
struggle over racial justice. This was the summer when violence
against blacks increased at an alarming rate and when the murder of
three civil rights workers in Mississippi resulted in national
media attention. Charles Marsh takes us back to this place and
time, when the lives of activists on all sides of the civil rights
issue converged and their images of God clashed. He weaves their
voices into a gripping narrative: a Ku Klux Klansman, for example,
borrows fiery language from the Bible to link attacks on blacks to
his "priestly calling"; a middle-aged woman describes how the
Gospel inspired her to rally other African Americans to fight
peacefully for their dignity; a SNCC worker tells of harrowing
encounters with angry white mobs and his pilgrimage toward a new
racial spirituality called Black Power. Through these emotionally
charged stories, Marsh invites us to consider the civil rights
movement anew, in terms of religion as a powerful yet protean force
driving social action.
The book's central figures are Fannie Lou Hamer, who "worked for
Jesus" in civil rights activism; Sam Bowers, the Imperial Wizard of
the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi; William
Douglas Hudgins, an influential white Baptist pastor and unofficial
theologian of the "closed society"; Ed King, a white Methodist
minister and Mississippi native who campaigned to integrate
Protestant congregations; and Cleveland Sellers, a SNCC staff
member turned black militant.
Marsh focuses on the events and religious convictions that led
each person into the political upheaval of 1964. He presents an
unforgettable American social landscape, one that is by turns
shameful and inspiring. In conclusion, Marsh suggests that it may
be possible to sift among these narratives and lay the groundwork
for a new thinking about racial reconciliation and the beloved
community. He maintains that the person who embraces faith's
life-affirming energies will leave behind a most powerful legacy of
social activism and compassion.
