       Atlanta: King's religious rhetoric -- A certain man fell 
       among thieves: King and the parable of the good Samaritan 
       -- I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight: 
       pentecostalism and Mason Temple -- Across the Red Sea: the
       exodus continues -- Fire on the streets and in the bones: 
       King revives Hebrew prophecy -- If I do not stop, what 
       will happen to them? King's rhetoric of the body -- Mine 
       eyes have seen the glory: Julia Ward Howe, the bible, and 
       Memphis -- If I had merely sneezed, I would have died: 
       King's biblical interpretation -- App. A. Text of "I've 
       Been to the Mountaintop" -- App. B. The parable of the 
       good Samaritan, as told in Luke 10:25-37 -- App. C. The 
       Murray/Buttrick intertext -- App. D. The Luccock/Buttrick 
       intertext -- App. E. The Buttrick/King intertext -- App. 
       F. The Murray/Buttrick/King intertext -- App. G. The 
       Luccock/Buttrick/King intertext -- App. H. Liberal 
       Protestant commonplaces in "I've been to the mountaintop" 
       -- App. I. 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.
