"The huge library of scholarship on King is enriched, and readers will be enlightened, by the dense compilation of juvenilia and documents presented in this first of 14 volumes. . . . What emerges from this wealth of research is an intellectual and emotional portrait of young Martin. it is a fascinating depiction of how powerfully and positively (the black Baptist tradition of social-gospel Christianity shaped character early in this century. . . . Creator and creature of history, publicly clear yet privately elusive, the soul where American racial politics and belief in the Christian millennium are one (this is the young King of 'Called To Service,' a book that serves his legacy well and whets our appetite for the 13 volumes to come."
From Booklist
The second in a planned 14-volume edition of MLK's papers continues to herald the project as a major publishing event--or series of events, as the volumes slowly but steadily make their appearance. The format follows that of the first volume : an introductory biographical essay sets the context of the gathered and annotated letters, speeches, sermons, and other articles. Volume two covers the period of time from King's doctoral study at Boston University (the complete text of his dissertation appears here) to his first year as pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. As in the first volume, King's passion and eloquence not only come to the fore but ring from every document; and, as with the first volume, this one will interest only a dedicated few browsers, but for its research value it is invaluable and must be considered for purchase for any black history collection.
