When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is
swept into a passionate love affair. But his girlfriend's return to
Paris destroys everything. Unable to admit to the truth, David
pretends the liaison never happened - while Giovanni's life
descends into tragedy. United by the theme of love, the writings in
the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly
different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love's endlessly
fascinating possibilities and extremities: romantic love, platonic
love, erotic love, gay love, virginal love, adulterous love,
parental love, filial love, nostalgic love, unrequited love,
illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted and obsessional
love...
Before he was a civil rights leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King,
Jr., was a man of the church. His father was a pastor, and much of
young Martin's time was spent in Baptist churches. He went on to
seminary and received a Ph.D. in theology. In 1953, he took over
leadership of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Atlanta. The church
was his home. But, as he began working for civil rights, King
became a fierce critic of the churches, both black and white. He
railed against white Christian leaders who urged him to be patient
in the struggle-or even opposed civil rights altogether. And, while
the black church was the platform from which King launched the
struggle for civil rights, he was deeply ambivalent toward the
church as an institution, and saw it as in constant need of reform.
In this book, Lewis Baldwin explores King's complex relationship
with the Christian church, from his days growing up at Ebenezer
Baptist, to his work as a pastor, to his battles with American
churches over civil rights, to his vision for the global church.
King, Baldwin argues, had a robust and multifaceted view of the
nature and purpose of the church that serves as a model for the
church in the 21st century.
‘It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot
is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity
not to teach your child to hate’
Told in the form of two intensely personal 'letters', The Fire Next
Time is an excoriating condemnation of the terrible legacy of racial
injustice, drawn from Baldwin's early life in Harlem and his experience
as a prominent cultural figure of the civil rights movement.
