Black Battle, White Knight - The Authorized Biography of Malcolm Boyd

"Civil rights activist, a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War, champion of gay rights, and author of over 30 books--including his spiritual classic Are You Running with Me, Jesus?--Malcolm Boyd gained prominence during the 1960s as the 'Espresso Priest' for his readings in coffeehouses and his activism outside the confines of the institutional church. Based on actual spiritual direction sessions plus a series of e-mail exchanges between Boyd and the author, readers are permitted to eavesdrop as Boyd recounts narratives of his life as a celebrity priest, his battles against racism and homophobia, and the people and events that shaped his life"--P. [2] of dust jacket.
