His style of writing reminded me of Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in 1 Corinthians13 written around 55CE. Paul was also in jail (house arrest) in Rome. <br />Dr. King concluded his letter:<br />Never before have I written a letter this long -- or should I say a book? I’m afraid that it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else is there<br />to do when you are alone for days in the dull monotony of a narrow jail cell other than write long letters, think strange thoughts, and pray long prayers?<br /><br />If I have said anything in this letter that is an understatement of the truth and is indicative of an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything in this letter that is an overstatement of the truth and is indicative of my having a patience that makes me patient with anything less than brotherhood. I beg God to forgive me.<br /><br />Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood.<br />MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.<br />Velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244470739234651640noreply@blogger.com
