Like almost no other movement before or since, Christian people gave force to a social mission. And, remarkably, they did it largely through nonviolent actions. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words and historic efforts as the Moses of this civil rights movement stand out as perhaps the most significant instance of a modern Christian leader acting in a prophetic role to instigate political change. In many ways \"The Letter from Birmingham Jail\" stands at the center of that movement. In this book African American journalist Edward Gilbreath explores the place of that letter in the life and work of Dr. King. \u003ci\u003eBirmingham Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is not simply a work of historical reflection. Gilbreath encourages us to reflect on the relevance of King's work for the church and culture of our day. Whether it's in debates about immigration, economic redistribution or presidential birth certificates, race continues to play a role in shaping society. What part will the church play in the ongoing struggle?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Gilbreath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.61w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830837694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Gilbreath is the author of \u003ci\u003eReconciliation Blues: A Black Evangelical's Inside View of White Christianity.\u003c\/i\u003e An award-winning journalist, he serves as an editor at large for \u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and as the executive director of communications for the Evangelical Covenant Church.
