[Flavius Josephus]

When King was alive he indeed was often referred to as the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, and not vice versa.

Probably a bad example to use Reverend King here. the point is that if one was to use his full name and titles in an article, one would only use it once, the from then on Reverend King would suffice, IMO.
