The Essential Reinhold Niebuhr: Selected Essays and Addresses
Author: Reinhold Niebuhr
Theologians, ethicist, and political analyst, Reinhold Neiburh, was a towering figure of twentieth-century religious thought. In this important book, the best of Neiburh's essays have been brought together for the first time. Selected, edited, and introduced by Robert McAffee Brown - a student and friend of Nieburh's and himself a distinguished thoelogian - the works included here testify to the brilliant polemics, incisive analysis, and deep faith that characterized the whole of Neibuhr's life.
Publishers Weekly
Brown, a former friend and student of the influential theologian, concentrates on Niebuhr's theological essays. PW stated that ``although this is not a representative selection of Niebuhr's religious, political and social thought, the anthology offers a useful introduction to his work.'' (September)
