Martin Luther King is also an icon of non-violent resistance to oppression in Germany. His life story has been told many times. What is less well known is the extent to which King's fight for political freedom and social justice was rooted in his religious and spiritual beliefs. Michael Haspel follows this trail in his book. He shows how religious faith, theological convictions and political strategies influenced and permeated each other in King's life and concept of resistance. For King, faith is not a feeling of being comforted, but a worldly attitude of love that proves itself in the fight for justice.
