Description
Richard Wills focuses on one particular aspect of King's theology - 'Imago Dei' - the idea that human beings are made in God's image. For King, this meant that human beings have not only the right but also the power to reshape society and to build a 'Beloved Community' on earth. Wills relates this theory to King's civil rights beliefs.Tags

Wills's book is a highly readable work for the King aficionado and novice alike, which fills in many of the theological gaps in the King lore. The author skilfully reveals the timeless nature of King's interpretation of imago Dei, which still speaks to a society and church that have become desensitized by mindless violence and death; whether this is (youth) gang-related knife crime in our show more communities or those killed in the theatre of war. show less
