Jesus and the Disinherited

In Jesus and the Disinherited, Howard Thurman presents a profound theological exploration that influenced the civil rights movement and served as an inspiration for Martin Luther King Jr. Drawing on the gospel as a guide for the marginalized, Thurman argues that Jesus embodies solidarity with the oppressed, offering a path to moral resilience through self-love and communal compassion. His message asserts that true empowerment comes from love rather than hatred, advocating for a just society rooted in understanding and connection.
