Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Image of God
Wills, Richard W. (Adjunct Professor, Religious Studies, School of World Studies, Adjunct Professor, Religious Studies, School of World Studies, Virginia Commonwealth University)
Richard Wills concentrates here on one particular piece of King's theology, imago dei - the idea that human beings are made in God's image. For King, being made in God's image meant that human beings have not only the right but also the power to reshape society and to build a 'Beloved Community' on earth. Wills's thorough reconsideration King's thought makes the case for his importance as a theologian and also for the centrality of imago dei to his theology,and of his theology to the civil rights movement.
