A dry read but Radical Ideas
Ivory is not the most exciting writer. The book can be very dry. But what is worth the read is learning about King's theological framework. King's belief in a personal God that wants to transform society is like an early liberation theology. This book challenged me to be much more will to pay a cost to help change the world. King is a real inspiration.

Good, but "Dissertationy"
Luther D. Ivory's thesis is that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. radical theological thought has an enduring, yet under-appreciated legacy. Further, King's radical challenge to the "triple evils" of racism, poverty, led him to espouse a "democratic socialism" that was a profound challenge to our system which neglects the egalitarian ethos. Though Ivory's thesis is...

This review is from: Toward a Theology of Radical Involvement: The Theological Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Paperback)
Luther D. Ivory's thesis is that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. radical theological thought has an enduring, yet under-appreciated legacy. Further, King's radical challenge to the "triple evils" of racism, poverty, led him to espouse a "democratic socialism" that was a profound challenge to our system which neglects the egalitarian ethos. Though Ivory's thesis is well-stated, and his evaluation of King's thought a sound one, the book reads like a dissertation. As an evaluation of King's thought, it is weak on the compelling biographical events of King's life, which are equally gravitating. Recommended to those with a prior appreciation of the drama of King's life and activism, and in interest in an academic review of his thought.
