MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail

MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail 2018-04-04T22:14:16-06:00 Blair Van Dyke

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

This is a long letter. King himself identified it as such. The content of this letter from jail is a source of hope but it also provodes criticism of Christians that disregard social justice and law enforcement entities that employ moral means as a justification to maintain immoral ends. This letter also captures aspects of debates raging today in American society.

Read with interest.
