Parallels for segments of "I've been to the mountaintop." 520 "In his final speech "I've Been to the Mountaintop," Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his support of African American garbage workers on strike in Memphis. Although some consider this oration King's finest, it is mainly known for its concluding two minutes, wherein King compares himself to Moses and seems to predict his own assassination. But King gave an hour-long speech, and the concluding segment can only be understood in relation to the whole. King scholars generally focus on his theology, not his relation to the Bible or the circumstance of a Baptist speaking in a Pentecostal setting. Even though King cited and explicated the Bible in hundreds of speeches and sermons, Martin Luther King's Biblical Epic is the first book to analyze his approach to the Bible and its importance to his rhetoric and persuasiveness. Martin Luther King's Biblical Epic argues that King challenged dominant Christian supersessionist conceptions of Judaism in favor of a Christianity that affirms Judaism as its wellspring. In his final speech, King implicitly but strongly argues that one can grasp Jesus only by first grasping Moses and the Hebrew prophets. This book also traces the roots of King's speech to its Pentecostal setting and to the Pentecostals in his audience. In doing so, Miller puts forth the first scholarship to credit the mostly unknown, but brilliant African American architect who created the large yet compact church sanctuary, which made possible the unique connection between King and his audience on the night of his last speech."--Amazon.com. 546 English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 King, Martin Luther,|cJr.,|d1929-1968|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79084324|xOratory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006903 600 10 King, Martin Luther,|cJr.,|d1929-1968.|tI've been to the mountaintop. 600 10 King, Martin Luther,|cJr.,|d1929-1968|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79084324|xKnowledge and learning|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011409|xBible. 600 17 King, Martin Luther,|cJr.,|d1929-1968.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/40023 630 07 Bible.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1356024 647 7 Sanitation Workers Strike|c(Memphis, Tennessee :|d1968) |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1404522 648 7 1968|2fast 650 0 Sanitation Workers Strike, Memphis, Tenn., 1968.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86001827 650 7 Oratory.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1047214 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Freedom & Security|xCivil Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Freedom & Security|xHuman Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xEthnic Studies|xAfrican American Studies. |2bisacsh 651 7 Tennessee|zMemphis.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204194 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMiller, Keith D.|tMartin Luther King's biblical epic.|dJackson : University Press of Mississippi, ©2012|z9781617031083|w(DLC) 2011011331|w(OCoLC)708762485 830 0 Race, rhetoric, and media series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2012011854 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=408282|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
