The Fire Next Time (Modern Library Series)

"One wonders why [the author] is so hard on the Apostle Paul, whose stormy career was dedicated to a transracial and transnational concept of love--love on the wide and practical scale--that is not so unlike the ideal commended by Mr. Baldwin. But the author's private views need not close our eyes to his firm, sound stand on the ground of our common humanity, our desperate need of one another. Would that his compelling words might be generally accepted before the fire of racial conflict is allowed to destroy the unfinished business of Emancipation's second century!Baldwin, James is the author of 'The Fire Next Time (Modern Library Series)', published 1995 under ISBN 9780679601517 and ISBN 0679601511.
