Epilogue
Hailed by Life magazine as one of the great preachers of the twentieth century; a spiritual advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr., Sherwood Eddy, James Farmer, A. J. Musty, and Pauli Murray; the first black dean at a white university; cofounder of the first interracially pastored, intercultural church in the United States; Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a man of penetrating foresight and astonishing charisma. His vision of the world was one of a democratic camaraderie born of faith, and in light of today's global community, one of particular importance.
“Thurman’s prophetic witness and piercing intellect are as relevant
to our current hour of tumult as they were when he first put these
incisive thoughts to paper.”—Jelani Cobb, author of The Substance
of Hope
“[Jesus and the Disinherited] is the centerpiece of the Black
prophet-mystic’s lifelong attempt to bring the harrowing beauty of
the African-American experience into deep engagement with what he
called ‘the religion of Jesus.’ Ultimately his goal was to offer
this humanizing combination as the basis for an emancipatory way of
being, moving toward a fundamentally unchained life that is
available to all the women and men everywhere who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, especially those ‘who stand with their backs
against the wall.’”
—Vincent Harding, from the Foreword
