The Nature and Destiny of Man

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book presents a series of theological lectures by Niebuhr that delve into the Christian understanding of human nature and its historical implications. Addressing themes of powerlessness and the influence of Christianity on human history, these lectures were notably delivered on the eve of World War II. Their profound impact is evident in later political strategies, including Cold War containment policies. This work is particularly relevant for readers interested in ontology and the intersection of theology and political thought.
