Lewis V. Baldwin

A Lasting Prophetic Legacy

History & Biography

Foreword

“This is a rich and groundbreaking study of a major religious leader in the Western world who challenged humanity around the need to employ peaceful means as an avenue to global community. Highlighting Martin Luther King Jr. and his associations with leaders in the World Council of Churches, this book adds immeasurably to our understanding of both King the devoted churchman and the global King. I recommend it highly.”

Liberating Visions

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Robert Franklin is the only scholar to capture in a single volume the rich tradition of moral, political, and theological reflection bequeathed by Booker T. Washington, W. E. B DuBois, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. Liberating Visions is a rich, provocative, and highly readable volume—one that will be of enduring value to all who advocate and struggle for human fulfillment and the just society.”

Liberation and the Cosmos

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The elders and ancestors speak to us throughout the pages of this remarkable book, reminding us that our lives, dreams, hopes, and struggles are intimately and forever linked to theirs. There is much food for thought in Liberation and the Cosmos, and the sheer wisdom coursing through its content will enrich lives and liberation projects for generations to come. A unique, profound, and highly readable book!”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Harris combines the passion and power of personal experience with a masterful display of historical and literary criticism, and the finished product is a book that goes beyond Twain's painfully derogatory stereotypes, racial epithets, and persistent myths to expose race as the enduring and central dilemma of the American experience. In compelling terms, Harris helps us understand why our claims of a post-racial society remain open to serious question and debate.”

The Problem of Black Skin

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Dr. Stallworth has given us a rich and thought-provoking work that calls for a new and more nuanced understanding of the age-old and complex problem of black skin, which, interestingly enough, still obstructs the path to better and more peaceful relations between humans. He urges us to view the problem not only in an historical, cultural, and social context, but to also consider its spiritual dimensions and implications. The task Stallworth sets before himself is challenging and, in some ways, quite difficult, but he succeeds with deep sensitivity and considerable insight.”

The Word Made Plain

Preaching & Worship

“Black preaching in all its powerful dimensions comes alive in this work. It testifies to Dr. Harris's genius as a homiletician in the best tradition of the African American church. But The Word Made Plain also speaks to the kind of homiletic power and artistry needed in the pulpits of churches everywhere today.”

Walking with Our Ancestors

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The contemplative life and social justice are topics of central concern to people of virtually every faith tradition today, but questions remain about how the two intersect in human experience. Answers can be found on the pages of this insightful, powerful, and illuminating piece by Dr. Holmes. Readers will come away from this book feeling highly enriched and inspired.”
