Prior to our conversation, please take some time to consider the following questions:

1. Who is the audience for Dr. King's letter? What are the circumstances that compelled him to write it at this moment?

2. How do the people of the God of Israel distinguish between just and unjust laws?  Are people of God obligated to disobey unjust laws?
