Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Image of God
Scholars universally acknowledge the role that Christian belief played in the social movement engendered by Martin Luther King Jr. Yet few have actually delved into the complexity of King's theology itself. The centrality of one aspect of his theology in particular - imago Dei, the belief that human beings are made in God's image - has been surprisingly overlooked. In this book, Richard W.

BLOODY SOCIAL WORKER
On Monday, 30 November 2020, Richard Wills resigned. Burnt out, unable to take it anymore and with his health shot to pieces, he decided that being a social worker was no longer him. BLOODY SOCIAL WORKER - mallet and memoir - documents his 32 years on the front line, in 'Madchester' and Oldham, together with his childhood in Cumbria.

Reflections on Our Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, 1954-1960
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pastored the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama from 1954 to 1960. Within months of his arrival there, Rosa Parks, a young seamstress, refused to yield her seat to a white man on a segregated Montgomery bus. Her arrest sparked the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association and the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956. The young Rev. King was elected leader of this epic struggle which ushered in the nonviolent direct action phase of the Civil Rights movement.This unique book records the testimonies of Rev. King's congregation. They present a view of Brother Pastor Dr. King as we have never seen him before, as he rapidly rose to international prominence as one of the greatest leaders of the modern era.

Lived Theology
The lived theology movement is built on the work of an emerging generation of theologians and scholars who pursue research, teaching, and writing as a form of public discipleship, motivated by the conviction that theology can enhance lived experience. This volume--based on a two-year collaboration with the Project on Lived Theology at the University of Virginia--offers a series of illustrations and styles of lived theology, in conversation with other major approaches to the religious interpretation of embodied life.
