- Title
Mirroring Moses, Doubling Exodus: Disowning Violence in the Judeo-Christianity of Martin Luther King.
- Authors
Hartnell, Anna
- Abstract
The article analyzes civil rights leader Martin Luther King's Judeo-Christian theological politics of non-violence. It asserts that the specific elaboration of Judaism by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud is helpful in examining King's Christianity. It proposes that King attacked a violent, racist theology with a pacifistic Christianity he found by excavating its Jewish sources. It examines his approach to Judaism through his friendship with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel.
