McLeod Bryan gives firsthand accounts of his interactions with five of the most important prophetic voices of the twentieth century: Martin Luther King Jr., anti-apartheid minister C. F. Beyers Naude, Clarence Jordan - New Testament scholar and founder of the interracial farm community known as Koinonia Farm - Czech pastor Jaroslav Stolar, and religion scholar Huston Smith. In a century filled with violence, war, and oppression, these five figures appealed to the freedom of conscience in order to reach beyond the limitations of institutional Christianity to reclaim a more authentic following of Christ.
