Description: Originaly copyrighted in the 40's, this edition has new copyright of 1964. Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) was an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary for more than 30 years. He was one of America's leading public intellectuals for several decades of the 20th century and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964. With Volume 2 (not included in this listing), this work is listed as Number 18 on the Modern Library’s 100 Best Nonfiction books. This collection of theological lectures delivered by Niebuhr in 1939, tackles the Christian concept of human nature, the powerlessness of man, and Christianity’s impact on human history. Delivered just before the outbreak of World War II, these lectures were so influential that Cold War containment policies and aspects of realpolitik can be traced to them. Especially recommended for those interested in ontology.
