The Mystic as Prophet (Softcover)

By Luther E. Smith Jr. 

Study a prophet and you study his people. The prophet's significance is the result of his relationship with his community. His message, shaped by history and destiny, seeks to restore the community's sense of identity and purpose. The more we know about the prophet, the more we know about the people.
Howard Thurman's prophetic witness provides this kind of insight. His message evokes feelings and thoughts not only about his personality, but about the meaning of personal and social existence. In discovering more about Howard Thurman, we should know more about ourselves.
