Building Beloved Community in a Wounded World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This text provides a kaleidoscope on Josiah Royce’s felicitous concept of ‘the beloved community,’ which was most powerfully elaborated in the life, work, and rhetoric of Martin Luther King Jr. . . . Bridging the academy and the pulpit, the contributors harmonize around the cries of the wounded within a wounded world. Its human, all-too-human deficiencies notwithstanding, Goodson, Stone, and Kuehnert focus on what a beloved community demands of us who have the ears to hear.”
