Review: "Johnny Bernard Hill Brings two of the most prominent theologians of our time, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Desmond Mpilo Tutu, into conversation to explore the meaning of the Christian ideas of justice, forgiveness, community, and the church. Establishing both figures as theologians of reconciliation, Hill considers the ways in which King and Tutu creatively extended the boundaries of classical theological discourse with the prophetic call to liberation and human fellowship. As a result, Hill is able to probe the implications of King and Tutu's work on multiculturalism and social justice as they relate to contemporary issues."--BOOK JACKET.
