Campbell\u003c\/em\u003e is the first collection of interviews with the southern preacher, activist, and author best known for his involvement with the civil rights movement. Ranging from a 1971 discussion about religion and ending with a previously unpublished interview conducted in 2009, these twelve interviews give insight to Campbell's unique religious beliefs and highlight pivotal moments of his career.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Will D. Campbell (1924-2013) was born poor in rural Mississippi and became an ordained minister when he was barely seventeen years old. After serving in the Army during World War II, Campbell ministered in a variety of positions, including a pastorate in Louisiana, as religious director at the University of Mississippi, and as a race relations consultant for the National Council of Churches. Along the way, Campbell worked with civil rights figures, Klansmen, Black Panthers, and country music icons, believing all were equal in the eyes of God. Throughout his career, Campbell drew attention for criticizing the institutional churches and supporting women's rights, gay rights, and school desegregation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From 1962 through 2012, Campbell published over fifteen books including novels, biographies, and memoirs. His first book, \u003cem\u003eRace and the Renewal of the Church\u003c\/em\u003e, introduced his theories of reconciliation and the failures of institutional churches. His best-known work, \u003cem\u003eBrother to a Dragonfly\u003c\/em\u003e, was a National Book Award finalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Royals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496818148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496818140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Tom Royals","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936383172863,"sku":"9781496818140","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d6d2c395-3795-4fe7-ab0c-2d4d01127c20.jpg?v=1681425231","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-will-d-campbell-tom-royals-9781496818140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
