On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, ESN Staff prays for the ongoing grace  to seek justice and practice mercy, to stand with the vulnerable, and to celebrate the vast diversity of people  represented in God’s Kingdom. Here are a few resources the ESN blog has shared over the past few years  related to the work of Martin Luther King Jr.


1. “God Was the First to Cry,” a 2-part blog post  by Lauri Swann as part of our Lent 2015 Justice series. See Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

2. Book review of  Birmingham Revolution  by Edward Gilbreath, reviewed by Bob Trube.

3. Resource post by Tom Grosh, originally posted 2009 and updated 2014.

Thank you to the writers who contributed material, and may God guide us all this year to pursue the justice of His Kingdom in our lives.

The Emerging Scholars Network is always seeking opportunities to identify, encourage, and equip the next generation of Christian scholars to be a redeeming influence in the academy, church, and the world. As you have an announcement, a “call for papers”, an event, a prayer request (e.g., campus, field, higher ed), a resource suggestion, a review, etc., which is in concord with our Kingdom of God endeavor, please send materials (marketing/sales material not accepted) for consideration to post via email or the ESN Writer Survey. Thank you.
