Environmental Justice In The Deep South: A Golden Anniversary Reflection On Stimulus And Change, Jonathan C. Augustine Dec 2012

Environmental Justice In The Deep South: A Golden Anniversary Reflection On Stimulus And Change, Jonathan C. Augustine

Jonathan C. Augustine

2013 marks the 50th anniversary of Letter From Birmingham Jail written by the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (“King”). After being arrested on Good Friday in Birmingham, Alabama, King wrote the famous letter as an indictment against the state of racial injustice in the Deep South. Indeed, for King, the American Civil Rights Movement (“the Movement”) was born in response to the legal system’s contradiction between ideals of law and justice and the reality of racial discrimination. In the fifty years since King wrote Letter From Birmingham Jail, much has changed in America. In addition to the Movement …

The Theology Of Civil Disobedience: The First Amendment, Freedom Riders, And Passage Of The Voting Rights Act, Jonathan C. Augustine Mar 2012

The Theology Of Civil Disobedience: The First Amendment, Freedom Riders, And Passage Of The Voting Rights Act, Jonathan C. Augustine

Jonathan C. Augustine

In 2011, usage of the term “civil disobedience” resurged in the American lexicon for at least two reasons: (1) there was widespread civil protest in Egypt; and (2) America observed the fiftieth anniversary of the now-celebrated Freedom Rides. Both reasons demonstrate the continued relevance of the twentieth century American Civil Rights Movement (“the Movement”). American media widely covered Egyptian citizens’ nonviolent acts of civil disobedience as Egyptians peacefully protested governmental corruption in demanding free and fair elections. Further, since 2011 marked the golden anniversary of the Freedom Rides in the United States, Americans were reminded of the nonviolent civil disobedience …

Environmental Justice And Eschatology In Revelation, Jonathan C. Augustine Dec 2011

Environmental Justice And Eschatology In Revelation, Jonathan C. Augustine

Jonathan C. Augustine

The concept of environmental justice is not new. While some scholars and activists trace its origins as part of the ongoing American Civil Rights Movement—a movement which emerged within the interdisciplinary connection of law and religion—this Essay argues that the concept of environmental justice has deep origins in the Holy Bible. With a foundation in the Old Testament Hebrew scriptures, this Essay combines the disciplines of law and religion by arguing that the Book of Revelation should be read ecologically, as a clarion call to protect the environment in anticipation of the time the triune God will return to live …
