Episode 111: Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Michial Farmer talks with Nathan Gilmour and Danny Anderson about Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." A classic piece of American written rhetoric, beloved by Christians and unbelievers alike, King's letter invokes a rich array of philosophical, Biblical, and other intellectual traditions to make the case for immediate, direct, nonviolent resistance to unjust governments. Among the ideas and other realities discussed in the episode are divine law, gradualism, civil disobedience, civil rights, and nonviolent resistance.
