In We Will Get to the Promised Land, Lee explores the entire scope of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s spirituality, tracing its roots to African communal religious traditions and African Americans’ fight for racial justice. He presents communal-political spirituality as constituting the heart of King’s multifaceted spirituality. Lee reinterprets King’s personal journey, theology, and ethics, as well as the Civil Rights Movement, in light of this communal-political spirituality, while assessing its ongoing importance for the common life in the twenty-first century, with particular attention to the war on terror and interreligious ecumenism.
