Editorial Reviews

A biography of Reinhold Niebuhr, 20th-century theologian and political philosopher, written by Niebuhr's last graduate assistant. Chronicles Niebuhr's passion for creating an "intellectually equipped, socially concerned Christian ministry" and discusses how Niebuhr conveyed his definition of social ethics to his students. While Niebuhr was a force in many arenas, this biography focuses on his influence as a professor and teacher. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
