Description :

In 1935, at the height of his powers, Howard Thurman, one of the most

influential African American religious thinkers of the twentieth century, took a

pivotal trip to India that would forever change him&#8212an that would

ultimately shape the course of the civil rights movement in the United States.

&nbspWhen Thurman (1899&#8211191) became the first African American to

meet with Mahatma Gandhi, he found himself called upon to create a new

version of American Christianity, one that eschewed self-imposed racial and

religious boundaries, and equipped itself to confront the enormous social

injustices that plagued the United States during this period.

Gandhi&#8217sphilosophy and practice of satyagraha, or &#8220sol

force,&#8221would have a momentous impact on Thurman, showing him the

effectiveness of nonviolent resistance. &nbspAfter the journey to India,

Thurman&#8217sdistinctly American translation of satyagraha into a Black

Christian context became one of the key inspirations for the civil rights

movement, fulfilling Gandhi&#8217sprescient words that &#8220itmay be

through the Negroes that the unadulterated message of nonviolence will be

delivered to the world.&#8221Thurman went on to found one of the first

explicitly interracial congregations in the United States and to deeply influence

an entire generation of black ministers&#8212amng them Martin Luther King

Jr. &nbspVisions of a Better World depicts a visionary leader at a

transformative moment in his life. Drawing from previously untapped archival

material and obscurely published works, Quinton Dixie and Peter Eisenstadt

explore, for the first time, Thurman&#8217sdevelopment into a towering

theologian who would profoundly affect American Christianity&#8212an

American history.
