Ong's Thought," I highlight in detail Jonathan Eig's massively researched and lucidly written biography of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968; Ph.D. in theology, Boston University, 1955).

Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955).enMartin Luther King, Jr., Walter J. OngScholarly Text or Essay
