The address was printed in the summer 1935 issue of Religion and Life, and forms the basis of Jesus and the Disinherited. In February 1932, Thurman gave an address in Atlanta on “The Kind of Religion the Negro Needs in Times Like These,” which was an early version of what would become “Good News for the Underprivileged.” In the summer of 1935, he delivered “Good News for the Underprivileged” at the Annual Convocation Lecture on Preaching at Boston University. The ideas encapsulated in the book had been developing for a number of years. The book developed out of a series of lectures that Thurman presented at Samuel Huston College in Austin, Texas, during April 1948." In the book, Thurman interprets the teachings of Jesus through the experience of the oppressed and discusses nonviolent responses to oppression. Jesus and the Disinherited is a 1949 book by African-American minister, theologian, and civil rights leader Howard Thurman. |
