What type of appeal is martin luther king jr. using in the third paragraph? but more basically, i am in birmingham because injustice is here. just as the prophets of the eighth century b. c. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the apostle paul left his village of tarsus and carried the gospel of jesus christ to the far corners of the greco-roman world, so am i compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. like paul, i must constantly respond to the macedonian call for aid. a) appeal to fear b) appeal to logic c) appeal to religion d) appeal to credibility
