I have also decided to stick with love for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems. -- Martin Luther King Jr.
A remarkable compilation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most powerful reflections on the transformative power of love -- published exclusively by HarperCollins as the first volume in an On series drawn from the Dr. King archives.
This essential volume reveals Dr. King's revolutionary vision for the central role of love in the quest for human dignity:
- The Beloved Community: Explore Dr. King's ultimate vision for a society built on justice, equal opportunity, and love for one's fellow human beings -- and understand why he believed this was not an idealist's dream, but an achievable reality.
- Loving Your Enemies: Discover the tactical and spiritual power of nonviolence, and why Dr. King believed that responding to hate with love was not weakness, but an absolute necessity for survival and lasting change.
- Timeless Wisdom: Gain a deeper understanding of Dr. King's most profound reflections, with each sermon and speech placed in its unique historical context through new editorial introductions that enrich every page.
- Inspirational Leadership: Witness the evolution of Dr. King's core philosophy and understand how his unwavering commitment to love guided one of history's most consequential social movements.
One of the greatest civil rights leaders in history, Dr. King wrote and reflected frequently about his Christian doctrine of agape love -- its transformative power and the essential role it played as the catalyst for positive change and social transformation. With On Love, readers have access to these writings compiled in a single, deeply moving, and illuminating work. Each section is accompanied by brief editorial remarks that place the historical context of each speech, sermon, and essay front and center, further enriching the reader's understanding of Dr. King's timeless wisdom on nonviolent resistance.
Love is the central concern of religious traditions and a cornerstone of moral philosophy the world over. From C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves to Thich Nhat Hanh's How to Love to bell hooks' All About Love, readers and writers share a universal longing to uncover love's mysteries. Here, Dr. King adds his singular, prophetic, and urgently needed voice to that timeless conversation.
