The Measure of a ManIt always interests me to read about the religious views and creeds that motivate the great political leaders and freedom fighters. This is an incredibly short book, I read it on the train up from Kent. With only two chapters it can fit in your back pocket. |
This book reveals the basis for an entire life, it is simple but still profound as some of the most important things are. The book tackles a question that I have been considering for some time now, the nature of man, is he (or she) essentially a beautiful butterfly or merely an animal acting and reacting to the most base of desires. It is a question that has far reaching implications as to the way we should live our lives, the reasons for sin and evil. I think it is probably as important as our questions as to the nature of God, of course the two act on each other. I won’t reveal the whole book you should read it, in short Dr King proposes that we are neither completely good or animal in our nature. He asserts a spiritual essence to man, but also a dualism, he speaks of the the inner battles that rage between good and evil. He also talks about the way to live life, a three pronged approach, we must love ourselves, love others and love God. If any of the three is missing we are diminished Buy it on Amazon |
