Howard Thurman: Sermons on the Parables

About this book

Howard Thurman, preacher, educator, poet, theologian and civil rights leader best known for his ethical and cultural criticism, influenced a wide audience, from Martin Luther King and Mohandas Gandhi to young students exploring faith and social responsibility. Among the first preachers to conduct Christian services in a nontraditional way, drawing from such eastern religious faiths as Buddhism and Hinduism, Thurman's philosophy of interfaith worship and dialogue is reflected in this collection of his essential writings. It reminds us all that out of religious faith emerges social responsibility and the power to transform lives.
