"From beginning to end this book is a wonderful read-brisk, intelligent, and relevant, filled with delicious asides, personal reflections, and unexpected turns."-Alan Wolfe, Boston College -- Alan Wolfe
"Reinhold Niebuhr, as a theologian and political thinker, has never been more urgently relevant than he is today. Charles Lemert has eloquently located Niebuhr's work in its original setting while highlighting its critical importance to the international moral dilemmas we currently face. This well-crafted book is for anyone interested in the interaction of religion, politics and morality."-Harvey Cox, Harvard University
-- Harvey Cox
"A gifted and creative expositor, Lemert provides careful analyses of Niebuhr's most important works, the develoment of his thinking in response to his own life history and concurrent world events, and his study of thinkers like Augustine and Max Weber. . . . Scholars and laypersons alike will find this volume valuable. Highly recommended."-
