Harvey introduces many readers, perhaps for the first or only time, to the King of diverse religious and intellectual influences, of an increasingly radical cast of thought, and of a mélange of intellectual influences that he aligned in becoming the spokesperson for the most important social movement of twentieth-century American history. Not only does Harvey chronicle King's metamorphosis and its impact on American and African American life, but he seeks to explain his \"afterlives\"--how in American culture King became transformed into a mainstream civil saint, shorn of his radical religious critique of how power functioned in America. Harvey's concise biography will allow readers to see King anew in the context of his time and today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Harvey is \u003c\/b\u003edistinguished professor of history and presidential teaching Scholar at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and the author of numerous books on American religious history including, with Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield, \u003ci\u003eThrough the Storm, Through the Night: A History of African American Christianity (\u003c\/i\u003eCHOICE\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOutstanding), and \u003ci\u003eBounds of Their Habitation: Race and Religion in American History. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the coauthor with Edward J.
