Review Quotes: In Martin Luther King's Biblical Epic, Keith Miller far surpasses all previous work on King's last speech. In his masterful and haunting re-creation of the historical moment and his analysis of the speech as though it were a summary of King's life work given cumulative testimonial form, Miller demonstrates how deeply and passionately King believed the kingdom of God to be alive in the history of man."--Eric J. Sundquist, author of King's Dream: The Legacy of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" Speech
